Celebrating its 18th year, the 2022 Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit will be held for the first time in Athens, the capital of a country enjoying an economic resurgence and therein an inflection point in its luxury market. The Greek economy is currently outpacing the Eurozone by 2 per cent and forecast to grow to 2.2 per cent in 2020. Luxury spending from tourism is booming and locals are increasingly spending on a growing number of local designers with an international reputation.

The Summit takes place during a time of economic instability across Europe with a slowdown in the core of the Eurozone, trade friction among global superpowers both East and West, yet despite this, the growth of the luxury market persists. How can the industry react to evolving spending patterns and a new generation of consumers? Is the rise of e-commerce sustainable? How can luxury players harness consumer data to make smarter decisions? Where are the new markets for growth and what are the latest investment opportunities?
