Industrial development significantly enhances a nation’s geopolitical influence. In today’s rapidly evolving world, industry is not just a driver of financial growth - it is a cornerstone of social development and a multiplier of a nation’s geopolitical strength. To this end, I was honored to share my insights on this crucial topic at the ot.gr Forum and at the Greek Economic Summit, organized by the American - Hellenic Chamber of Commerce last week. In an era marked by uncertainty, shifting global dynamics, and transformative challenges, modern industry provides nations with a critical edge. By fostering innovation, creating value, and generating sustainable growth, industry empowers countries to negotiate from a position of strength on the global stage, enhancing their diplomatic leverage and influence. For Greek companies to truly thrive in this new landscape, a commitment to innovation and outward-looking strategies is essential. By embracing cutting-edge technologies, becoming more extrovert, and prioritizing sustainable growth, and by showing resilience and adapting to new realities and the progress that accompanies them, we can elevate Greece's presence on the global map. At Papastratos S.A., we’ve seen how careful investments can make a positive impact, resulting in the creation of growth opportunities, better jobs, supporting communities, and improving the overall ecosystem. Investing in industry is investing in our future, driving progress, and securing a better tomorrow for all.   #GameChangers #EdoStinPraxi #PapastratosMazi #prostokalytero #investments

📣 The Bulgarian Industrial Association/Българска стопанска камара (BIA), together with the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), organizes a thematic event "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 - 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘉𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢", on 𝟮𝟰 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟱:𝟬𝟬, 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘂𝗺 - 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗮. 💡 The event is part of preparing an opinion on the same topic, rapporteur on which is Mariya Mincheva – Vice President of BIA and member of the EESC. 💡 One of the main priorities of BIA is Bulgaria's accession to Schengen, the Eurozone and the OECD. While lifting the air and sea border controls can be defined as a step in the right direction, the continued land border controls for Bulgaria and Romania lead to significant costs, environmental damage and missed benefits not only for the economies of both countries but also for the entire EU internal market. 💡 The EESC opinion will address the issue of lost benefits and direct losses related to the continued land border controls for Bulgaria and Romania, but also for the EU internal market, which leads to restrictions on trade and tourism, reduced competitiveness and increased costs for business, political and social costs and negative environmental impacts. Further emphasis will be placed on the need to set a specific date for the abolition of checks at internal land borders. Within the framework of the drafting of the opinion, 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱. 💡 The discussion on 24 September, in addition to the members of the working group on the preparation of the EESC opinion, will include ambassadors of the EU Member States, members of the European Parliament and the National Assembly, representatives of the Bulgarian Ministries, business stakeholders from Bulgaria and Romania, the President and Vice-Presidents of the Economic and Social Council of Bulgaria and Romania and the Bulgarian Academy of the sciences. 🎯 Attendance at the event is by invitation only.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at today’s joint policy event on Biosimilar Medicines Manufacturing in Europe. Hosted by Sandoz in partnership with the Ministrstvo za gospodarstvo, turizem in šport / Ministry of the Economy, Tourism and Sport, this gathering brought together key voices from European institutions, industry, and policy-making circles to address the critical role of biosimilar manufacturing for Europe’s healthcare resilience. 💭 Anne Marie de Jonge-Schuermans (Anne Marie D.), Head of Biologics & Injectables Operations at Sandoz, highlighted that around 30% of all approved medicines in Europe are biological. She added: »This is where the biosimilar industry comes in. To ensure a reliable and affordable supply of biosimilars in Europe and lower the cost of healthcare for all, we must continuously invest in modern development- and manufacturing capabilities.« She pointed out competitiveness with the U.S. and Asia, as well as access to funding and a highly skilled workforce, as key challenges in this field. 💭 Matevž Frangež, State Secretary at the Ministry of the Economy, Tourism and Sport emphasized that Slovenia is achieving excellent results: »We have great results. 34% of our exports derives from bio+pharma. This is a result of great growth combination: traditional industries, top research, independent regulation, credible standardization and dynamic startup ecosystem. With the momentum in attraction innovation-based investment, Slovenia is becoming a new European biotech hub.« This event reaffirms our commitment to positioning Europe as a leader in biosimilar manufacturing – ensuring our healthcare systems are not only resilient but also able to meet the demands of a changing world. 🌐 Foto: Javier Bernal Revert #Lek #Sandoz #Biosimilars #PharmaceuticalIndustry #MedicinesForEurope #GlobalBiosimilarsWeek

Very much looking forward to sharing my thoughts and experience at Balkan Business Forum - BBForum this week on creating a culture of belonging, and how it can be a lever for both innovation and performance. We will be getting new insights & perspectives on the following key questions : How can we create the conditions for people to thrive in organisations ? How can we create sustainable change to ensure that innovation and performance are seen as outcomes of creating a deliberately developmental learning culture and not just 'things we need' at any cost ?
