The pivotal role of technology in the global banking sector — and at Piraeus Bank in particular — was highlighted by Christos Megalou, CEO of Piraeus Bank, speaking at the panel titled “The Banking System and the New Generation of Unicorns” at the Delphi Economic Forum XI.
The panel explored the outlook for the banking sector and its links with emerging innovative businesses in Greece and internationally, bringing together industry leaders for an in-depth discussion of current challenges and opportunities. As Megalou noted, “we are talking about something that is very close to my heart and to the DNA of Piraeus Bank.”
Making specific reference to Snappi — which represents the bank’s dynamic expansion into the promising neobanking market — he added that “it is indeed our engagement with technology that initiated this journey a few years ago.”
Megalou also made extensive reference to Greece’s technology ecosystem, stressing that “we are truly fortunate in Greece to have such an ecosystem, but also fortunate that much more has been built on the back of strong technological education, the capabilities of our people, their outward-looking mindset, and their ability to create global businesses starting on a small scale and scaling up.”
The CEO of Piraeus Bank further noted that the bank stands ready to finance such initiatives, with a particular focus on strategic sectors such as defence, and encouraged those with the drive and capability to pursue this path.
