Social Bits are delighted to announce that Open Coffee Galway will be holding a very interesting evening of collaboration with Open Coffee Thessaloniki Greece via Skype Tuesday evening the 18th of January 2011. Open Coffee Galway will be held at the Webworks building in the evening due to the difference of time zones and for people to be able to attend after working hours.
The Open Coffee group in Thessaloniki is run and organised by both Apostolos Kritikos and George Gatos. Apostolos Kritikos from Open Coffee Thessaloniki will introduce himself to the Open Coffee Group in Galway via Skype. Ellen Dudley of Crowdscanner and Ina will be giving short introductions via Skype to the Open Coffee Thessaloniki Group. Why Link up?Greece like Ireland is currently facing chronic emigration and unemployment. The syncing of the Open Coffee clubs could possibly lead to collaboration opportunities. In Greece they have created a small network of existing start-ups through the Open Coffee network, including people that would like to create a start up, an umbrella of experts that supports the Open Coffee network in Greece that help it to grow. However in this time of economic crisis entrepreneurship on a national level is not enough. Open Coffee Meetings around Europe create healthy spots of entrepreneurship. Connecting them could lead to:
and even possible international cooperation (in both B2B and B2C perspectives) further down the road… Green Technology Theme & Agenda
Open Coffee Galway will also discuss the Endeavour program. Social Bits will be hosting the Open Coffee Galway event at the Webworks Galway building in the city centre at 6pm.
