The American–Hellenic Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the Thessaloniki Future Thinking Dialogues 2022 to be held on June 27 & 28 in Thessaloniki. TFTD is an institutional event the Chamber initiated successfully in 2021. TFTD serves as a platform of open discussion, dialogue and exchange of views and proposals on vital issues concerning business, economic and educational ecosystems through an innovative yet fundamental approach with a look into the future and what it holds for us.
A dynamic innovation ecosystem has recently developed in Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city. Significant investments from major multinational companies sprang in recognition of the city’s distinct competitive advantages, namely several leading academic institutions and research centers, a large pool of young and talented graduates with strong foreign language skills combined with a good quality of life, rich history, cosmopolitan heritage and a vibrant, extrovert society. We are living in an era where, rapid changes taking place in our world, are shaping an environment with different demands and orientations that is under constant customization. These changes raise concerns in a society constantly seeking and shaping new models and practices of education and training to respond to future challenges. As such, education, employment, and training systems must anticipate and adjust to ongoing changes in our economies and societies that affect skills demand in present and future.
