ATEDCo at the Annual Conference of the Union of Capital Cities of the European Union

As representative of the City of Athens at the Annual Conference of the Union of Capital Cities of the European Union, which took place in Dublin from 13 to 15 October, ATEDCo took part in networking events with other European cities, entitled "Leadership: The New Challenge for European Capital Cities." The conference focused on two areas:

• Ensuring economic stability by developing technical knowledge and creative entrepreneurship.
• The role of European capital cities in ensuring sustainability on a global scale, particularly in combating climate change, and in promoting actions to develop the third world.

Most capital cities of the enlarged European Union, international observers from other countries, and non-governmental organisations all took part in the conference. The speakers in both areas were globally renowned and came from the worlds of academia, politics and business.

The CEO of ATEDCo, Panagiotis Arkoumaneas, held a meeting with the Mayor of Dublin and the Mayors of other cities, during which matters of urban development, cleanliness and international cooperation were discussed.
