Theme: In every crisis there is also opportunity. Greece engraved its place in history by facing successfully and repeatedly what initially appeared as impossible odds. The sea occupies a very central place in Greek history and civilization. Today, Greece still possesses the biggest merchant fleet in the world (in DWT). ALLILONnet is the global network of Greeks and friends of Greece for solidarity in the professional field, mainly in favor of our youth, for studies, professional insertion, career and entrepreneurship. The aim of the panel is to initiate a process of multidisciplinary discussion, that includes the relevance of the SDGs, on the considerable opportunities that do exist on this globally important sector for professionals, brain gain cases, start-ups, or investment projects.

Theme: As we approach 2030, Ideagen is committed to connecting the dots to achieve the Global Goals (SDGs). In addition to the SDG’s, this panel will provide insights from a cross-sector lens on insights and strategies as we work toward achieving the Global Goals by 2030. For example, as outlined by our colleagues at KPMG, “For more than two decades, companies have come under increasing pressure to incorporate ESG goals in their business. An increasing body of evidence indicates that companies can both do good and do well financially, which is contributing to a record number of companies setting out on their own “ESG journeys”. – KPMG US
