Science Agora is entering a new phase. The Technology Transfer Network of the four leading research and academic institutions in Attica —AUEB, NTUA, NCSR Demokritos and Athena RCis strengthening, evolving, and expanding its services with the goal of bringing research closer than ever to the actual market.

Event marking the start of the new phase

On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, 17.00 -20.00, at the Events Hall of the NTUA Administration Building, we will present the vision and actions of Science Agora for the upcoming period. This open event will bring together researchers, businesses, investors, and innovation stakeholders for a shared dialogue.

Bridging Research and the Market as a Strategic Priority

The event will feature the presentation of the innovative Proof-of-Concept (PoC) to be implemented by Science Agora, in collaboration with the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB). This program will target research teams and spin-offs from Greek Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Research Centers. The PoC Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to enable the piloting and maturation of innovative ideas under real-world conditions, providing advisory support, mentorship, networking, and targeted funding to accelerate the transition from the lab to the market.

A discussion with pioneers making a difference

Researchers, companies, and partners who have collaborated —or will collaborate— with Science Agora will share their experiences and expectations of the Network. The discussion will focus on what is working, what is evolving, and what still needs to be achieved in the field of technology transfer.

Science Agora is growing -and so is the innovation ecosystem

In its second phase of operation, Science Agora aims to:

  • Enrich the services available to researchers and businesses.
  • Build new collaborative bridges with the market.
  • Increase the overall value generated through the interconnection of research and innovation.

The event is open to the public and is aimed at all those who want to be at the forefront of the next day of Greek innovation.
