With proper guidance and implementation of the new law, we can ensure better protection for founders, shareholders and the investment, redesign on the right bases and reduce operating costs. We can also attract new people and maintain the most capable executives, create the conditions for access to “cheap” funds and use modern technology, and finally, we can better prepare for the next day of our business”.

Lastly, the urgent need for immediate adaptation of the articles of association has been highlighted not only as compliance with the new law but, in particular, to meet the needs of each entrepreneur and each company to adequately meet present and future requirements – particularly those relating to their safe development course.

    It is with great pleasure that we share with you the news that our friend and companion for 25 years, Byron Nicolaides, President of PeopleCert was honored with the award “Excellence of Entrepreneurship 2018” by the Athens University of Economics and Business.

    Mr. Nicolaides was awarded in recognition of his successful business activity, as he managed in the midst of the financial crisis to develop PeopleCert, so that it can now carry out examinations for the certification of professional skills and operate in more than 200 countries worldwide.

    The prize was awarded during the postgraduate graduation ceremony of the Postgraduate Program in Administrative Science and Technology, by Mr. George Lekakos, Associate Professor at the University of Economics and Business, in the presence of prominent academics, including professors George Doukidis, Georgios Xylomenos, Ioannis Nikolaou and Ioannis Mourtos.

    The award was in recognition of Nikolaidis’s efforts to expand the professional qualification testing company in the midst of the Greek crisis and develop it into a company that is active in more than 200 countries today and employs more than 320 people.

    Professor Lekakos, while introducing Mr. Nicolaides, referred to the “other Greece of creation” that excels abroad as well as to the entrepreneurial route of the chairman of PeopleCert: “When the country was in the grip of the economic crisis, Mr. Nicolaides managed to pull his company out of the swirl of Greek economic reality, turning all its dynamics abroad. He has fully internationalized it in 2008, spreading its activity, which is now being shown in more than 200 countries, where millions of tests are conducted in 25 languages. And all this while preserving the company’s capacity in Greece, where today more than 320 people are employed. Mr. Nicolaides from his headquarters in the center of Athens has transformed PeopleCert into a world leader in conducting examinations and certifying human resources qualifications”.

    Mr. Lekakos concluded: “We honor Mr. B. Nicolaides because he is one of the few known cases of entrepreneurs who, in the midst of the crisis of the Greek economy, created in Athens an internationally successful company”.

    The Key Elements Of Success

    Addressing the graduates of the postgraduate program of the Athens University of Economics and Business, Mr. Byron Nicolaides made the mark of business in Greece and abroad, through the experience of his company’s route internationally, with the following statement: “The main component of the success was and remains the teamwork in conjunction with the four principles: Quality, Innovation, Passion and Integrity that govern every action not only of the administration but of all the company’s personnel”.

    PeopleCert’s president urged young scientists, no matter what they do, to remain committed to their goal, not to hesitate to chase their dreams, to have flexibility and adaptability: “The only way to do your job perfectly is to love what you are doing”, Mr. Nicolaides said and underlined: ”Remember the three alpha- first letters of the following words in Greek: Love (in Greek: Agapi), passion for what you do, Confidence (in Greek: Aftopepithisi) , trust in your strengths, your abilities, and Integrity (in Greek Akeraiotita). Integral people are complete people”.

    At the award ceremony, Mr. Nicolaides stressed that “being awarded by an important “lighthouse of knowledge”, such as the University of Economics and Business, is a contribution to highlighting the certification of skills as a factor that adds value to companies”.

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Alliance for Digital Employability (AFDEmp) has recently celebrated the anniversary of the two-year offer to young and unemployed people; KOUMENTAKIS & ASSOCIATES participates in this Alliance by offering Legal Support. To date, more than 200 unemployed graduates have been recruited and are now working as Developers!

    Two Years Of Offer To Young And Unemployed People

    The Alliance for Digital Employability is being implemented with the Vision of reducing unemployment in Greece through the creation of new jobs in the IT sector. The actions of the initiative aim to (a) accelerate the training of candidates in high-quality digital skills, (b) certify the skills they have acquired, and (c) the absorption of the candidates by the labor market.

    Today, through Alliance For Digital Employability (AFDEmp) actions, more than 200 unemployed graduates have been re-qualified. People with a different educational background (from mathematicians and physicians to theologists and nurses) have gained access to IT knowledge that is in high demand and have already been hired as well-paid developers in major Greek companies participating in the program.

     

    The Contribution of KOUMENTAKIS & ASSOCIATES Law Firm

    KOUMENTAKIS & ASSOCIATES Law Firm participated from the very beginning and continues to provide full legal support to this important for our country initiative. The two-year anniversary event was attended by Stavros Koumentakis, Senior Partner and by Lambros Timotheou, Partner of the firm.

    In his statement, Stavros Koumentakis said “We fully identify the Vision of the Alliance For Digital Employability (AFDEmp). Improving the capabilities of human resources and acquiring modern knowledge as a means to improve employability form one of the pillars of our Social Solidarity Program. In KOUMENTAKIS & ASSOCIATES Law Firm we believe in Lifelong Learning and we are committed to supporting all those who create access to it. I warmly congratulate Mr. Byron Nicolaides, President of the BoD of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPIS) for his tireless efforts in recent years to help reduce the digital divide and thereby reduce unemployment.

The idea for the initiative was born out of a special study conducted – under the aegis of CEPIS – by the Athens University of Economics and Business, ALBA and HePIS. According to the findings of the study, youth unemployment as well as the gap between supply and demand for technological skills can be addressed through re-training.

    This was the central message of Mr. Byron Nicolaides, President of the BoD of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPIS) and Head of PeopleCert Group, worldwide, who stated, among other things, “A European need, a Greek opportunity took shape thanks to the alliance of the European Informatics, their Greek colleagues, of academics and of the most important Greek companies. It is now necessary for a company to be able to manage and make full use of the tools offered by new technologies. In this context, we, through AFDEmp, train young professionals by encouraging them to broaden their professional horizons. I am sincerely proud of what we have done together so far. I think that, we, as a private initiative, are laying another brick to shape the next day in the country by tackling the phenomenon of unemployment “.

    HePIS President Mr. Nikos Faldamis said that through AFDEmp an institution has been created that overturns the existing path and turns digital skills into a major opportunity for growth and employment of the new workforce”. Mr. George Doukidis, Professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, pointed out that such initiatives contribute to: (a) encouraging young people to dare change their professional field by moving to modern fields such as Information Technology and Programming; and (b) encouraging companies to invest in the new generation by employing people who have acquired the appropriate knowledge.
