Rebrain Greece Lands in London for 2026!

Bridging the Gap for Greek Talent in the UK

The Hellenic Ministry of Labour and Social Security has announced the upcoming REBRAIN GREECE London event, a flagship initiative designed to reconnect Greek professionals living in the United Kingdom with the evolving Greek labor market. Scheduled for May 9, 2026, at the Hilton London Metropole, this event serves as a pivotal bridge for the “Brain Gain” movement, aiming to bring high-level expertise back to Greece.

Reversing the Brain Drain

For over a decade, Greece experienced a significant exodus of skilled professionals. The REBRAIN GREECE initiative was launched to reverse this trend by showcasing that the Greek economy is no longer just recovering, but actively expanding into high-tech, energy, and digital sectors. The London event is specifically tailored for the thousands of Greek expats in the UK—many of whom are experts in finance, tech, and healthcare—who are considering a return to their homeland.

High-Profile Participation

One of the event’s primary draws is the direct access it provides to Greece’s leading employers. Over 30 major companies from diverse sectors have already confirmed their participation, including:

• Banking & Finance: Alpha Bank, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece, Piraeus Bank, and CrediaBank.

• Energy & Industry: HELLENiQ Energy, Metlen Energy & Metals, Motor Oil, PPC (ΔΕΗ), TITAN Group, and Cenergy Holdings.

• Technology & Consulting: PwC, Deloitte, EY, and Qualco Group.

• Healthcare: Athens Medical Group, Hellenic Healthcare Group, and IASO Group.

• Shipping & Tourism: Aegean Airlines, Mitsis Group, Temes (Costa Navarino), and Tsakos Energy Navigation.

These organizations are not just looking to fill vacancies; they are seeking professionals who can bring international experience and a global mindset to the Greek corporate landscape.

What to Expect at the Event

The REBRAIN GREECE London forum is structured to be more than just a job fair. Attendees will have the opportunity to:

1. Network Directly with Executives: Skip the digital screening process and engage in face-to-face discussions with HR directors and CEOs.

2. Explore New Career Paths: Gain insights into the specific roles currently in high demand in Greece, particularly in digital transformation and green energy.

3. Learn About Incentives: The Ministry often uses these forums to update professionals on tax incentives and relocation programs designed to make moving back to Greece financially viable.
