Kafé & Kouvénta
Niki Kerameus and ReBrain Greece
In this episode of Kafé & Kouvénta, host Eraklis Diamataris sits down with Greece’s Minister of Labor and Social Security, Niki Kerameus, for an in-depth look at ReBrain Greece, the Greek government’s initiative to bring skilled Greeks and members of the diaspora back home. They discuss how Greece reduced unemployment from crisis levels to a 17-year low, the country’s new growth trajectory, and the concrete incentives now available, including tax breaks, streamlined recognition for doctors trained abroad, and a more flexible framework for working pensioners.
The conversation also explores how to spread opportunity beyond Athens, the role of vocational and technical education, and what meaningful growth looks like for young people already living in Greece. Minister Kerameus shares what she hopes to achieve during her tenure and extends an invitation to the ReBrain Greece event in New York City on Sunday, December 7, at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.
Listen to hear how Greece is trying to turn brain drain into brain gain, and why now may be the right moment to consider living and working in Greece.
