Presentation Greek Economic Forum A Modern Greece 11-15 May 2015 Under the auspices of the Greek Ministry In collaboration with Harvard University of Economy, Infrastructure, Marine and Tourism www.greekeconomicforum.org What the Greek Economic Forum is The Greek Economic Forum (GEF) was created by a group of young people who wanted to take action, as a response to austerity policy in Greece and on the international stage. The Greek Economic Forum (GEF) is an independent think tank which engages in economics, policy and lobbying, as well as events and initiatives across the globe. As it is defined conceptually, the Greek Economic Forum, is a synthesis of solutions, knowledge and positions for tomorrow's Greece. www.greekeconomicforum.org Our vision From the outset, we wanted to create a healthy network that might favor our home nation. In this way we hope to find solutions and make serious proposals to address the problems facing our country and thus contribute to its development. Our desire is to see our home nation involved in international affairs for positive reasons through innovation and development projects. We want to reorientate its identity, not only to reestablish its reputation but also to show that it is capable of building a better future. www.greekeconomicforum.org Who we are Αντώνιος Πιτταράς, συν-Ιδρυτής & Εκτελεστικός Γενικός Διευθυντής, γεννήθηκε και Antonis Pittaras co-founder & CEO, was born in Naxos Greece and he has spent his life μεγάλωσε στη Νάξο και πέρασε το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της ζωής του ανάμεσα στην Ελλάδα between Germany and Greece.

In Memoriam: Wilfried Martens On 9 October, Wilfried Martens, President of the Centre for European Studies (CES) and long-standing President of the European People’s Party (EPP), passed away at the age of 77. President Martens was a strong believer and promoter of political foundations, which he considered instrumental in advancing European integration and cooperation. Inspired by the role national foundations had played in their respective countries, he took an active role in founding the first centre-right political foundation at European level, the CES. President Martens was deeply committed and engaged in CES activities, not only as a strategic leader, but also as an inspirational speaker and author. His passion for the European project is evident in his autobiography Europe: I Struggle, I Overcome which offers the inside story on the intricacies of European politics, but above all its guiding ideas, values and principles.
