That's the reason why cooperating with the local ecosystem is an important part of our actions. Programs like Bootcamp are tools to strengthen CDI's ties with the Greek technology and innovation ecosystem, which contribute to the attraction & recruitment of talents, as well as the emergence of ideas and ultimately lead to innovative discoveries and innovations that change patients’ lives".
