Founded by Forbes 30 Under 30 geopolitical entrepreneur Basil Gavalas, the Athens Defense Summit featured several U.S. and European officials focused on the future of defense in the world. What inspires us about the United States is actually its defence dynamism: its willingness to trust founders, reward risk and move at the speed of danger. Featured at the summit was top U.S. energy official Joshua Volz, Special Envoy for Global Energy Integration at the U.S. Department of Energy. The diaspore community in the United States of Greek Americans includes some of the most impressive individuals we have in the United States—leaders of industry, titans of entertainment, politics, and the list goes on. That exchange between people and the ability of cultures to come together is really the foundation of all of the relationships we have between the Hellenic Republic and the United States of America.
