Athanassopoulos Nicolaos, Ioannides Leonidas, Angelopoulou Kassiani and Gavriil Georgios were the first ALBA student team to participate in the 2001 European Business Plan of the Year Competition on June 18-19, 2001 in Barcelona, Spain. Their business idea, called 'EASY ISLANDS', made it to the 6 finalists, among IESE Barcelona (Spain), London Business School (UK), INSEAD (France), The Management School, Imperial College (UK), and EM Lyon (France).
