“We are thrilled with the impact of the ‘Rebrain Greece’ initiative in Amsterdam. Today’s Greece is a rapidly developing country, offering professional opportunities, a robust economy, and significant potential. Our goal as a government is to encourage Greeks who left seeking better prospects abroad to return to a transformed professional and social landscape. At the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, we are building a ‘bridge’ connecting Greeks abroad with businesses in need of talent. By creating the right conditions, we hope our compatriots will seize these opportunities, playing a crucial role in the country’s major transformation.”
This initiative reflects Greece’s commitment to reversing brain drain and fostering a thriving professional ecosystem. By connecting talent with opportunity, the country aims to empower its people to contribute to its ongoing transformation and growth. The success of Rebrain Greece” marks a significant step forward in achieving this vision.
