Greek talent is world-class but scattered.
With @chrisgasteratos, we believe that’s not a problem but a dormant superpower, especially if this network becomes more closely connected. This is why we created the Hellenic Atlas.
Today, we publish the Global Greek Innovation Report 2026 to turbocharge that mission.
We have gathered what we believe are some of the most interesting data points on Greek scientists, founders, tech companies and investors all over the world.
Together with its diaspora, Greece's innovation ecosystem is far more powerful than its geographical size suggests. We hope this report is the first of many to highlight this richness.
If you know any person or datapoint that belongs here, please tag them or let us know. And if you resonate with our vision, help us spread the word.

Faster to first revenue is possible when you understand the market before entering it. Mirai helps founders map the Japan route, build local relationships and move with a plan.

Jev by @typesafeai turns your Mac into an AI agent...
what this means for You ?
- Jev, a new model from a ChatGPT co-inventor, can operate computer tools in real time.
- It is 200x faster for Computer use and 400x cheaper in addition to the optimizations.
- Yappy from @MitosisLabs is an AI that lives on your mac and do several things in parallel. Filling out Job applications, doing your Taxes and other documents, filling out forms, and so on...
- With Jev, all these things happen at the blink of your eye!
Below is a video demonstrating this IRL.
Here are the benchmarks (Yappy + Jev V/S our competitor):
- End-to-end time: 1m 54s vs 13m 14s
- LLM Calls: 22 vs 104
- Input tokens consumed: 0.39M vs 11.24M
- Estimated cost of the run: ~$0.24 vs ~$4.24

My friend is the highest paid developer in Berlin
He just got promoted to the CTO position
His new salary? A jaw-dropping €51,000 a year
We went to the bar to celebrate his promotion
“So how much is it after taxes?” I asked him
“€23,000 a year” he said proudly
Suddenly, the American tourist sitting next to us obnoxiously shouted
“Sorry, but are you guys serious? This is what a cleaning lady makes in the US, not an engineer salary lol”
My friend and I look at each other in disbelief
First of all, €51,000 is an extremely high salary for a developer in Germany
Secondly, unlike Americans, he will never be fired, so he can earn €23,000 for the rest of his life
But you can't expect a yankee to understand all that
No wonder America is collapsing if they keep paying their engineers unsustainable wages

This is the agentic room.
The Agent Native Builders Hackathon runs Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 August at @Cloudflare's San Francisco office. Two days, and one question underneath all of it: can an agent that nobody briefed arrive at your product cold, work out what it does, use it, and pay for it.
Most software answers no today. It was built for a person who already knows where the buttons are. The builders arriving tomorrow are not starting something new for a weekend. They are bringing things they already ship and opening them to agents, which is harder.
With $30K+ pool of builder credits and prizes! There are only 50 seats.
Organised by @immersivecommon , @RuntypeLabs , Nate Stewart Nathan Booker and Cotal.ai Sven Jonscher David Farah.
Co-hosted by Cloudflare, thank you for the space!
@nebiusai Sujee Maniyam, co-host and sponsor. Special thanks to our sponsors @tenki Colin Lowenberg Guzman Pintos, @tavilyai Greta Ernst, @AIsaOneHQ ., @hud_evals Axel Cassou, @MitosisLabs Prakshal Jain Alex Morris, Whiterabbit and Hacker bob.
With community partners @agentcommunity_ Balázs Némethi, Learning Layer Labs Devinder Sodhi, @ClawCampus Steven Echtman Soji lee, @HireyAI Walter Wu Cheryl Yang and @nerdconf_ar Alex Marin.
Judged on Thursday 27 August by Michalis Vasileiadis, Axel Cassou, Barton Rhodes, Fabio Roma and Vidya Bodepudi.

We are organizing the Agent Natives Builders Hackathon for people already building products and startups that are already shipping.
When: August 26 and 27
Where: @Cloudflare's San Francisco office
Fifty seats only.
Over the course of the year, our organizers and mentors have built top ranked agent-ready platforms and shipped foundational agent-native tech.
This is a rare chance to build alongside them. Bring a product and leave with an agent surface that works: discovery, authentication, tooling, payments, usability and accessibility.
We have two tracks.
- External. What your customers' agents can do with you. Your product, reachable by someone else's agent.
- Internal. What your own team's agents can do for you. The work behind the product, run by agents you trust.
This hackathon will test your product across the full stack of agent-first tech infrastructure.
Solo builders are welcome. You will work with our partners' forward deployed agents, hosted on Immersive Commons agent-native infrastructure.
RSVP: luma.com/agentnativebuilders…
