What makes these locations successful, and how can Athens develop its own identity on the international stage?

This panel explores the key factors that drive a thriving electronic music scene, from club infrastructure and festival networks to government support and industry connections. What can Greece learn from other regions, and what steps are needed to position it as a key player in electronic music?
