It is one of the world’s most ancient civilizations, yet the impact that Greece has had on society can still be strongly felt today. The Greeks developed the first concept of democracy as we know it, way back in 508BC. They gave us our modern understanding of maths and geometry through Pythagoras, Archimedes and Euclid.
Their early dramatists laid the foundations for the stories we enjoy in the theatre, on TV and at the cinema. They even invented frappé coffee and, as it turns out they probably came up with the pizza too (sorry, Italy).
Meanwhile, in the 21st Century and while facing one of the worst financial crisis in Europe they continue to innovate under the radar, creating new ways for us to live our lives. These Greek Startups are all cases in point, and they all impacted Web Summit 2014 in Dublin.
