CHANGEMAKERS SUMMIT took place on May 9th 2017 (Europe Day) in Mytilene.
The Summit gathered diverse international stakeholders to discuss how we can solve important problems through a common strategy. The focus of the Summit was on identifying and accelerating ways in which we can empower and accelerate social tech entrepreneurs and turn a crisis into an opportunity for local economic development.
Representatives of government and non governmental organisations, Universities and research centers, entrepreneurs and investors etc participated in the summit.

We are the change that we seek. “
