Mission & Interests
Goals: The Academy of Entrepreneurship (AKEP) is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2007 and a well established Greek training structure. It acts in collaboration with the Federation of Hellenic Associations of Young Entrepreneurs (OESYNE) and the Educational Association of Athens ' HFAISTOS' and aims to contribute to the creation of a healthy business environment for the development of entrepreneurship in Greece and in Europe as well as to support young entrepreneurs’ business goals and plans.
From 2007 onwards, AKEP has acquired a strong background in the design and delivery of specialised entrepreneurship workshops, both face-to-face and online, developing the necessary skills required by young entrepreneurs to start-up, grow and expand their business in national, European and international markets. Since 2007, the Academy has been organizing various workshops for young and future Greek entrepreneurs in order to help them grow and further develop their own business.
