Endeavor Greece launches
WorkInTech.gr to continue to attract tech talent from abroad and
accelerate hiring efforts
ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Endeavor
Greece, the Greek chapter of the
global organisation supporting the rise of new ecosystems, has
announced this week that they will be launching a new platform
targeting skilled tech experts abroad, both Greek and non-Greek,
looking to connect and break into the local tech scene. Available
at WorkInTech.gr, applicants can demonstrate their interest in
working in the Greek tech industry by filling out a simple
application form, entering a global registry of talented
individuals. Leading candidates will then be connected, according
to their profile, to the country's fastest-growing employers.
Greece is on the cusp of a
major technological transformation. The last decade, and 2020 in
particular, have positioned Greece
for a massive economic turnaround powered by a new crop of
tech-based enterprises. Interest in Greece as a tech destination is gaining new
steam with recent announcements of Microsoft's $1.17B investment in new data centers, its latest
acquisition of Softomotive and Delivery Hero's purchase of
InstaShop for $360M. The past year
has also demonstrated to global-level executives that work can
continue across national boundaries and in particular that there is
now a higher value placed on being in a locale with greater
lifestyle options.
The launch of this centralized registry of international
executives in tech looking to move to Greece comes at an opportune time for the
country's fastest-growing startups, while aiding savvy tech
executives who are increasingly putting location and lifestyle
first and looking to contribute to the country's digital
transformation. WorkInTech.gr is not the only initiative within the
Greek tech ecosystem to attract talent and reverse brain drain.
Last November, the Greek government announced a 50% income tax cut
to "digital migrants" for their first seven years, when immigrating
in 2021. This is on top of an existing flat tax rate for investors
who decide to shift their tax residency to Greece.
"Endeavor has a strong thought leadership platform where
high-impact founders communicate and push the Greek transformation
narrative. Last year, our content and our initiatives reached more
than 70,000 people, more than 50% of whom are talented individuals
who are based abroad and who want to be connected with the Greek
ecosystem. There are thousands of people out there, intrigued by
mission-driven, globally disruptive, fast-growing, Greek tech
founders," shares Panagiotis Karampinis, Managing Director at
Endeavor Greece, and continues: "Through WorkinTech.gr, anyone can
register their interest to be approached directly and potentially
work for the entrepreneurs and their missions. This global
registry is inline with Endeavor's efforts to foster an environment
that enhances growth prospects for entrepreneurs and rapidly
developing Greek companies."
The main goal behind Work in Tech is to give the opportunity to
anyone who wants to work at one of the most innovative Greek tech
companies, to become part of the fast-rising tech ecosystem in
Greece. After filling out one
simple application form, any talented Greek or foreigner, living in
Greece or abroad, can now make the
next step in pursuing a successful career in our country.
