Agora 2.0: The Climate Tech Debate

​Organised by Loggerhead Ventures, Agora 2.0: The Climate Tech Debate is a curated side event of the Panathēnea Festival, bringing together investors, founders, industry leaders, and policymakers to address one of the most pressing questions facing climate innovation today: is climate tech losing momentum or evolving into critical economic and industrial infrastructure?

​Agora 2.0 moves beyond sustainability narratives to examine climate technologies as systems that must deliver measurable environmental impact, profitability, and resilience under real-world conditions - not as a moral imperative, but as a driver of competitiveness, security, and long-term sovereignty.

​The event, moderated by journalist Tina Michailidou, will feature:

​A moderated panel discussion with:

• ​Evangelos Kosmidis — CEO & General Partner, Loggerhead Ventures

• ​Petros Kokkalis — Environmental Advocate, Social Innovator, and European Leader

• ​Markus Aicheler — Founder & CTO, SolidWatts

• ​Spillios Dellis — R&D Director, Raymetrics

• ​Vasilis Nikolopoulos — CTO & Co-founder, Avokado

​Followed by a startup presentation session featuring:

• ​OroraTech — Ioannis Lantouris, Director of Business Operations & Managing Director Greece

• ​Quantum Optima — Nikos Douros, CEO & Co-Founder

• ​EdenCore — Nikos Mylonas, CEO & Co-founder

• ​H2Rema — Ioakeim Sioutis, Co-founder & CTO

• ​HYPPOS — Evangelos Alepochoritis, CEO

​The second part of the event will showcase real-world climate technologies connected to resilience, optimisation, infrastructure, and operational intelligence through short presentations and audience discussion.
