Your next chapter doesn’t start someday.
It starts when you decide.

For almost  ten years, the SEV–Alba Scholarships have supported professionals in strengthening their skills, building confidence, and advancing their careers in a constantly evolving business environment.

68 scholars from 52 SMEs and larger organizations have benefited from this initiative, developing the leadership mindset and capabilities needed to respond to change, embrace innovation, and create impact within their teams and organizations.

The 10th Cycle Anniversary Event will take place on Monday, February 16, at the Alba Auditorium (Xenias 6–8), from 18:30 to 21:00, and will bring together alumni, business leaders, academics, and prospective candidates to reflect on a decade of impact and explore the skills required for the future — in an era shaped by digital transformation and artificial intelligence.

The program will feature:

• Real stories from SEV–Alba scholars
• A dynamic discussion on future-ready leadership
• Insights into the evolving needs of Greek businesses
• A networking cocktail

From “Can I?” to “I did it.”
Real people reshaping real careers.

Real People. Real Growth. 10 Years.
The next chapter begins now.
