We work closely with productive, professional, and scientific communities through the ExDI Institute and the advisory boards of our academic departments.
Our advisory boards bring together distinguished business leaders, government officials, and representatives from non-governmental organizations at national, regional, and international levels.
They support our initiatives by offering strategic advice on academic programmes and helping to foster strong partnerships with businesses and organizations.
Through these collaborations, we are proud to contribute to the development of dynamic connections with public and private organizations, chambers of commerce, and other key institutions across Thessaloniki, Greece, and beyond.
We are committed to fostering an innovation-driven ecosystem, supporting both academic and practical entrepreneurship across the public and private sectors.
Building on the infrastructure of the University of York, we facilitate the transfer of best practices and innovation between Greece and the United Kingdom.
We actively support the organization of networking events, seminars, and workshops, creating opportunities for collaboration and growth in a fast-changing global environment.
Our goal is to empower individuals and businesses to innovate, compete, and thrive.
