Panathēnea is a new international festival that blends technology, art, and startups into a multi-day, city-wide experience. It includes talks, exhibitions, curated networking, a startup competition, and cultural events—all culminating in an open-air street celebration.

Panathēnea takes place from May 7–9, 2025, across multiple venues in Athens, including the Athens Conservatoire and iconic cultural spaces across the city.

Panathēnea is designed for a wide range of participants:

• Startup founders and team members looking to connect and scale
• Investors including VCs, LPs, angels, and family offices
• Corporate professionals and institutional enablers exploring innovation
• Creative individuals and future-focused citizens eager to engage
• Journalists and media covering startups, tech, and culture
• University students selected as part of our Talent program

If you belong to one of these groups, there’s a ticket designed for you.

Each day is split in two parts:

• Mornings focus on stage content—keynotes, panels, workshops, and the startup competition.

There are several ticket categories based on your background and goals:

• Startup Pass – For founders and startup team members
• Investor Pass – For VCs, angels, LPs, and other investors
• Partner Pass – For corporates, institutions, and ecosystem enablers
• General Pass – For individuals looking to experience the festival
• Media Pass – For journalists, reporters, and content creators covering the event

Volunteers are central to Panathēnea. You can apply via the Volunteer page and join the team behind the scenes.

Yes—the street party on May 9 will be free and open to everyone in Athens, including locals and festival attendees. Stay tuned for the location announcement.

Panathēnea is organized by a not-for-profit team of students and recent graduates, supported by an experienced advisory board of global investors, founders, and creatives.
