Team member CV
George Konstantopoulos grew up in Pyrgos and works in Athens. He is a Diploma Electrical and Computer Engineer (University of Patras) with a Master’s degree in “Environment and Development” (NTUA), where he is currently completing his PhD thesis on local energy planning and policy. He currently works as an energy engineer, specializing in the development and financing of local development and sustainable energy projects.
During the years of the Greek financial crisis, the deadlocks of the Greek productive model and his interest in fair regional development models led him to actively participate in cooperative ventures. Exploring both the obstacles and the potential of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) sector brought him together with the other members of Co-Fund. As a founding member of the project, he believes he can contribute to the organization of a fair economic structure that supports cooperativism and responds to social needs.
He tries to find time to build things with his hands, walk a lot, and take care of his beloved.
