The AKTOR Group has successfully completed this year’s selection round for the AKTOR4TheFuture Scholarship Programme – Greece’s largest corporate scholarship programme – continuing its strategy of investing in the next generation of scientists and developing specialised human capital to support the Group’s growth and transformation and help retain talent in Greece.
The AKTOR4TheFuture Programme is being run for the second consecutive year by the AKTOR Group. It offers young Greek scientists opportunities to pursue postgraduate studies at leading universities in Greece and abroad, followed by guaranteed employment with the AKTOR Group for five years.
According to the announcement, the Programme focuses on talented young scientists seeking to broaden their knowledge and skills in renewable energy, IT and artificial intelligence, complex technical projects and finance, supporting their academic and professional development.
This year’s selected scholars are pursuing postgraduate studies at internationally recognised universities, including Imperial College London, Columbia University, Cornell Tech, Delft University of Technology, KU Leuven, Eindhoven University of Technology and Uppsala University.
At the same time, AKTOR4TheFuture promotes equal gender representation, with women accounting for 40% of scholarship recipients. The participants’ average age is 24.
Through AKTOR4TheFuture, the Group aims to link academic excellence with applied knowledge and professional experience, creating the conditions for developing executives who will actively contribute to implementing its strategy. At the same time, it is strengthening the link between higher education and the labour market, giving young scientists in Greece the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a modern, dynamic and multifaceted business environment.
Indeed, the first scholars from the programme’s inaugural round have already completed their studies and taken up roles at the Group in areas including renewables, IT and finance.
The completion of the Programme’s second round confirms the AKTOR Group’s commitment to investing systematically in human capital and creating opportunities and meaningful career prospects for the next generation, contributing to the growth of the Greek economy and strengthening the country’s competitiveness.
