25th anniversary of Microsoft Hellas
Microsoft Hellas celebrated 25 years of presence in the Greek market at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center’s Restaurant. At the celebration, the representatives of the political, business and journalistic world were all in attendance.
The evening opened with an impressive performance by Urban Prince. A piece presented for the first time in Greece, combines music and architecture in a unique way.
During his address, the Minister of Digital Policy, Telecommunications and Information, Mr.Nikos Pappas, wished Microsoft Hellas many more successful years. He mentioned that he is committed to exploiting new technologies in different contexts and for different purposes for the benefit of citizens and youth in order for everyone to enjoy technological development.
Peggy Antonakou referred to some of the most important moments of the company in Greece, such as how Bill Gates helped establish it in 2008 and their award as the best subsidiary in the world in 2020, as well as Microsoft’s contribution to Greek society through a series of actions for young people and less privileged social groups.
Ms. Antonakou spoke about the future and the digital revolution shaped by technology and referred to specific technologies that are already here and changing the world. “We are at a milestone,” she said as she looked up to meet her audience. “We’ve faced many difficulties.” The need for structural changes and to create a society that is constantly reforming, monitoring and contributing to developments has led us to our limits.” We need to make these decisions that will advance our country in the most efficient way possible so we can take it on the path to great success. We have a wealth of knowledge and talented people who believe in tech.
Microsoft employees are optimistic about the future of their company and its contribution to the country’s efforts in all fields. We will be here to support the welcome turnarounds. They will help us overcome what is holding us back, while our goals remain the same. Even if our direction changes, as long as we keep going forwards, we’ll make it.”
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Dimitris Nanopoulos and Mrs. Sia Kosioni came to The MOST Creative Genius Foundation to discuss a different aspect of culture.
