Papastergiou D.

Mayor of Trikala, Greece

I was born in Trikala, in 1973.

I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering by choice and because of my love for electronics, programming and broadcasting. I have also attended journalism courses.

The road of participation is one-way if we want to change our life, and that’s why since i became 29 years old, i got involved with municipal projects and initiatives, from various positions.

At the same time, i designed and constructed several energy projects, in the private sector.

In 2014, as head of the political party “Restart Now”, i was elected Mayor of Trikala.

I am member of the Board of KEDE and Chairman of the Committee on development, innovation and entrepreneurship. One of my main goals, is to make really smart and viable Greek cities.

I commute by bike, because it’s a way of life.
