Why Greece and why Athens?
Greece, specifically Athens, offers several compelling reasons for various purposes, and here's why they stand out:
1. Young working population: Greece boasts a relatively young working population, which is advantageous for businesses seeking a dynamic workforce. Athens, as the capital and largest city of Greece, is a hub for young professionals, offering a pool of talented individuals to recruit from.

3. Connection to the airport: Athens benefits from excellent transportation infrastructure, including its connection to Athens International Airport. The airport serves as a major travel hub, providing convenient access to both domestic and international destinations. This connectivity facilitates business travel, trade, and the establishment of global connections.
4. Base for recruiting in another location: Athens serves as an ideal base for recruiting and expanding into other locations, both within Greece and beyond. Its strategic location in southeastern Europe enables easy access to neighboring countries, making it a gateway for businesses looking to tap into emerging markets in the region.
