In the context of the collaboration between the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) and Junior Achievement Greece, the 18th Greek National Competition for “Best Virtual Business 2023” was held on Thursday, May 18, at the Dome of the SNFCC, with the participation of the 20 innovative, sustainable and socially relevant student start-ups that stood out and qualified to compete.

The “Virtual Business” program/conpetition is held for the fourth consecutive year under the auspices of H.E. the President of the Hellenic Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

An address was delivered during the event by Elly Andriopolou, SNFCC Managing Director, who participated for the second time in the competition as a judge and was also an Inspirational Mentor of Junior Achievement Greece during the current school year. Afterwards, Ms. Andriopoulou awarded the 1st Prize in the General Education category.

The big winner of this year's Greek organization of the student competition was the Experimental High School of the University of Macedonia, which will represent Greece in the pan-European competition in Istanbul, in July. The 17 students of the school created the virtual company "Isometricks". Through “Isometricks”, they designed and are implementing “Wizzle”, a thinking and creation game that uses mathematical rules and aims to cultivate creativity, spark the imagination and exercise the mind.

SNFCC – JAG Collaboration:
With the shared objective to mobilize student groups on the issue of sustainability, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) and JA Greece joined forces for the second year in a row, to give the opportunity to even more students from all over Greece to develop their ideas, skills and talents. Through the integrated digital programs “One City, One Ecosystem” and “Virtual Business,” school teams participated in a hands-on educational experience that addressed the issue of sustainable consumption and promoted creativity.

The journey started with the SNFCC training program “One City, One Ecosystem” and the adventure continued with JA Greece’s “Virtual Business.” By first concluding the SNFCC program, the school teams, divided into sub-groups, came up with ideas and models that might contribute to the issue of consumption sustainability. Immediately afterwards, they attended the “Virtual Business” program, which guided the school teams to develop their idea up to the final production of the product/service they designed.

In addition, members of the SNFCC team participated as volunteers-mentors in Junior Achievement Greece’s “Company Junior” program, a mini “Virtual Business” program aimed at students of grades 5 through 9.
