10 promising Greece-based startups to watch in 2020 and beyond

Greece is well known for its royal blue skies, white-painted hill-top towns, crystal waters, traditional gastronomy and rich history, but that’s not all it has to offer. A number of startups have been capitalising on Greece’s island fame, creating business around the tourism industry, including yachting, hotel booking and cultural activities, and quite rightly so. However, there are also a number of fintech, deeptech, agritech, and biotech startups out there, resolving financial management issues, proposing new ways for medical students to learn and helping farmers to increase crop yields.

Since the financial crisis, Greek entrepreneurs have been taking issues into their own hands and growing an inspirational and buzzing startup scene. Today the startup ecosystem is attractive to entrepreneurs from all over Europe, with a low cost of living, low crime rate, a host of success stories, prime location in the cross-roads of Europe and previous investments from major companies like Tesla. Plus, Greece was named the 2018 European Capital of Innovation by the EU, and ranked 11th in the world for Science and Engineering graduates by the Global Innovation Index 2018, showing there is no lack of talent.
