What we do
We are Greek Brands AKES, a fresh and dynamic Venture Capital Fund born to empower Greek companies producing brandable goods and operating in Greece, grow their business internationally, by maximizing their export potential. By supporting portfolio companies in their development and expansion stage and by assisting them with synergies and internationalization, our ultimate goal is to generate value and return for both founders and investors across the world.
Where we invest
Ideas born out of passion and innovation are always what we strive to support. We believe Greek minds can thrive in any sector. Our investments focus mainly on Greek SMEs which operate in the following industries:
CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
Craft specialization has been an age-old sector in Greece. Although leather goods, jewellery, clothes, ceramics, furniture and more have been marked by a decline since 2008, signs of rebirth are clearly shown.
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
Greek innovative thinking has surged over the last few years with new and upcoming ideas that are brought into life in the field of small and mid-sized handicrafts.
COSMETICS
Being abundant in natural materials fundamental to the production of high quality cosmetics, Greek manufacturers become more and more creative in their mission for natural and organic innovation of the industry.
PHARMACEUTICALS
The industry rose to a striking €2.9 billion in 2020 of Greek pharmaceutical exports corresponding to 9.4% of total Greek exports of goods. Despite the challenges pharmaceutical companies face, they have not fallen short of their dynamic character.
HEALTHCARE
Private healthcare sector in Greece has very significant growth margins. The need for upgrading services combined with the prioritization of prevention foretell a very dynamic future for the industry.
