Natasa Christou has been active in start-ups since 2013. Having set up her own innovative company tellali.com, she trains and encourages young people, unemployed or employed, to capitalize on their ideas. Citizens who come from various professions, from the creative or constructive sector are referred to companies or individuals who need their services.
“In this way, there is a matching of services with knowledge, abilities and expertise. For me start-ups are a magical journey where you work in a team and develop, away from traditional competition. Europe is alert as regards liquidity issues and offers speed and networking between investors and businessmen in innovation.”
