The Economist events, Microsoft and the British Council are jointly organising an international conference entitled “Education and innovation in the 21st century: Opening frontiers for the business market” in Athens. As the global marketplace becomes increasingly demanding, the role of education is fundamental when it comes to business success. Subsequently, in times of turmoil the initiative of the three organisations undoubtedly is very timely. The conference’s sessions shall mainly focus on skills development and strategy in education, the role of new technologies, entrepreneurship as well on best practices from Greece and abroad.

Date: 28 February 2013
