Think Greek Business, Think Agora SA 2026
The name Agora is drawn from the ancient Greek word ἀγορά, which referred to the central public space in Greek city-states. More than just a marketplace, the Agora was a vibrant hub of commerce, conversation, culture,and civic life—where citizens gathered to exchange goods, share ideas and shape the future of their communities.
Inspired by this legacy, Agora SA 2026 brings together South Africa’s Greek business community and broader stakeholders in the same spirit of connection, innovation and collective growth.
