Deloitte holds a leading position in advisory services related to technology solutions and digital transformation, strategy, risk management, and financial transactions, as well as audit, tax, and legal services. Within its technology consulting services, the firm implements significant digital projects while continuously investing in the development of specialised human capital. With 50% of its employees holding a technology background, the company demonstrates in practice its commitment to leveraging the STEM educational ecosystem, strengthening the connection between young scientists and the demands of the modern labour market.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding, planned activities include the exchange of expertise, support for NTUA’s educational and research programmes, opportunities for internships and professional employment for students and graduates, as well as the joint development and implementation of innovative sustainable development initiatives, fostering the growth of talent and expertise that will address the challenges of the future and the digital era.

Chatzigeorgiou, noted: “Our cooperation with Deloitte Greece forms part of a series of strategic synergies between NTUA and internationally distinguished private and public bodies that are leaders in their respective fields. Our goal is to strengthen the university’s connection with the productive fabric of the country, to collaborate in advancing educational, research, and social work, and to engage jointly in research programmes, knowledge exchange, and the organisation of scientific and educational initiatives.”
The Chief Executive Officer of Deloitte Greece, Dimitris Koutsopoulos, stated: “Our cooperation with the National Technical University of Athens represents a strategic investment in the new generation of scientists and in strengthening the Greek innovation ecosystem.
