Fotios Kotzakioulafis

With a diverse portfolio of communication, research, and business development roles spanning several European countries, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned international organizations such as The Exploration Company, NATO, and the European Commission. In the space sector, I actively contribute to organizations, including the International Institute of Space Law, the Association for International Legal Research on Space Sustainability, and OpenSpace International. My involvement extends to research initiatives, such as the Space Generation Advisory Council's Near Earth-Objects, Space Law & Policy, and Space Safety & Sustainability Project Groups.

As an ambassador for the European Climate Pact in Greece, a part of the European Green Deal, I have actively participated in numerous advocacy campaigns and citizen empowerment initiatives across Europe. At the same time, I have actively participated in high-level EU policy dialogues with Frans Timmermans, the Executive Vice President of the European Commission, and Virginijus Sinkevicius, the Commissioner for Environment, in Brussels. I also met with Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson, the President of Iceland, in Reykjavik to discuss the significant role of youth and citizen participation

Academically, I hold a BA in International Business Management and an M.Sc. in Human Resources Management, while currently pursuing a Law degree. This multidisciplinary educational foundation equips me with a unique blend of business acumen, legal expertise, and strategic insight, enabling me to approach complex challenges with a holistic perspective.
