At the Zagori Impact Investing Forum, potential becomes progress.”
The Zagori Impact Investing Forum is founded on the belief that entrepreneurial innovation and public-private funding are the engines of progress. The Forum aims to highlight the importance of impact investing and sustainable regional development and envisions to serve as a launchpad to unlock the region’s potential, turning vision into action.
The Managing Director of Envolve Entrepreneurship, Alexandros Nousias, stated: “This forum will bring together innovators, entrepreneurs and investors, to promote the importance of sustainable economic growth. We are building the future of the economies, today, based on impact-driven innovation, gathering stakeholders from across Europe. Our aim is to drive global impact through regional actions.”
This initiative comes at a pivotal moment, following Zagori’s recent inscription as a Cultural Landscape on the UNESCO World Heritage List in September 2024. Taking inspiration from the sustainable development of Zagori, Ioannina, and the broader Epirus region, the Forum bridges innovation and policy leaders from across Europe. The region leads innovation and progress in north-western Greece, through high impact research centers, and startups attracting global investments.
