This event started with a fireside chat among two Boston-based Greek luminaries: Michel Vounatsos, CEO of Biogen, and Nicholas Galakatos, Global Head of Life Sciences at Blackstone. This was moderated by Anna Protopapas, CEO of Mersana.
Following the discussion, several Greek entrepreneurs pitched their startups which are fundraising for US expansion.
Finally, the Hellenic Innovation Network Lifetime Achievement Award was given to George Behrakis, entrepreneur and philanthropist.
SPECIAL THANKS to our event sponsor, Elpen, which is building a new, state-of-the-art life science center in Athens and to Foley Lardner for hosting the event at their space.
