AEGEAN STARTUPS - The Greek University Startup Incubator in the Aegean Sea




In early 2015 the University of the Aegean launched AEGEAN STARTUPS panhellenic competition for innovative entrepreneurial ideas coming from students, alumni or young citizens in Greece. Aegean Startups competition will proceed in several phases within 2015 and offers some unprecedented features for supporting youth entrepreneurship:

  • Collaboration with 4 succesful incubators (Federation of Greek Industry, Municipality of Athens / Chamber of Commerce, Orange Groove, Microsoft Innovation Centre) where awarded teams will be able to continue their startup development



  • A network of University Incubators in Lesvos, Limnos, Samos, Chios, Syros and Rhodes - part of the University of the Aegean entrepreneurship programme - able to offer infrastructures and support on-site for succesful students and teams



  • Access to larger companies and other Entrepreneurship Centres in Greece and European Union




In parallel with the competition, Aegean Startups offer specialised training to young entrepreneurs in the islands of the Aegean Sea.
