AGORA
The term "agora" refers to a central public space or gathering place in ancient Greek cities, typically serving as a hub for various social, economic, political, and cultural activities. The agora was more than just a marketplace; it was a multifunctional area where people would come together to trade goods, exchange ideas, engage in philosophical discussions, hold public meetings, and participate in civic events.

The agora was an integral part of Greek city-states and played a crucial role in the development of their democratic systems. It was a place where citizens could come to discuss and debate matters of importance. The word "agora" itself comes from the Greek term meaning "gathering" or "assembly".

In PLIKA, we view the "agora" as a central and vital space within our collaborative network The agora serves as the fundamental gathering point for all participants, bringing them together in a shared space with a common purpose. It's a space designed for collaboration, interaction, and working collectively toward a greater cause: the revolution of knowledge.

In the agora, we strive to foster advancement and progress in our logistics and port communities. It's a place where ideas are shared, important issues are debated, and innovative solutions are crafted for the challenges we face. Here, participants can pool their knowledge, experiences, and unique perspectives to catalyze change and development in our logistic and port environments.

We envision the agora as a space where every voice matters and every contribution is valuable. Through collaboration and dialogue, we aim to drive transformation and development within our communities. By working together in the revolution of knowledge, we are paving the way for a stronger and more promising future for our logistics and port communities.
