Innovation meets tradition this spring in Athens, and Helidoni Foundation is honored to play a role in making it happen. We’re supporting the inaugural @panathenea.festival, a bold new nonprofit initiative fully led by students and recent graduates, reimagining connection and celebration through technology, art, and entrepreneurship.
Taking place May 7–9, 2025, at the historic Athens Conservatory, Panathēnea will gather young creators, aspiring founders, artists, and innovators for three days of talks, exhibitions, networking, and cultural events, culminating in a vibrant street party beneath the Acropolis.Our grant contributes to the realization of this first edition, helping create a festival designed and delivered by the next generation of talent. With inclusive programming that encourages dialogue, exploration, and lasting collaboration, Panathēnea offers a space where fresh ideas and diverse voices can thrive.
