Capsule^T Travel & Hospitality Accelerator had a strong presence at Beyond Expo 2026, participating in the largest technology and innovation exhibition in the Balkans alongside five startups from its ecosystem that are developing innovative solutions for tourism and hospitality.

From June 17 to 19, at the Region of Attica pavilion, Discoverly, iSPACE, Plana, Travelr, and Unlimited Adrenaline showcased their solutions to tourism professionals, institutional representatives, investors, and exhibition visitors, highlighting the role of technology in shaping the future of the industry.

As part of the exhibition, Capsule^Talso hosted a panel discussion titled “Athens & Attica: The Digital Transformation of the Tourism Destination Through the Eyes of Startups”, featuring representatives from the five startups and moderated by Capsule^T Director, Katerina Saridaki.

The discussion highlighted how travel-tech startups can contribute to creating a smarter, more sustainable, and more competitive tourism destination. Participants presented solutions that enhance the personalized discovery of experiences and local activities, promote businesses and destinations more effectively through virtual exploration technologies, optimize workforce management for tourism businesses, and simplify the organization of business and corporate travel.

The conversation also explored the role of technology in enhancing the visitor experience, supporting tourism businesses, and promoting lesser-known experiences that can contribute to longer stays and increased repeat visitation to destinations.

A special moment during Capsule^T’s participation in Beyond Expo 2026 was the visit of the Governor of Attica, Mr. Nikos Hardalias, to the booth, where he had the opportunity to meet and engage with startups from the Capsule^T ecosystem and learn about the innovative solutions they are developing for tourism and hospitality.

The pavilion was also visited by Mr. Dimitris Fragkakis, Executive President of New Metropolitan Attica S.A., who discussed with the teams the opportunities for leveraging technology in tourism and the role Greek startups can play in the digital transformation of destinations and tourism businesses.

Participation in Beyond Expo 2026 provided yet another important opportunity to showcase Greece’s travel-tech ecosystem, strengthening connections between startups, businesses, investors, and organizations that contribute to the digital transformation of tourism and hospitality.

Capsule^T would like to extend its sincere thanks to the Region of Attica for its hospitality and support, as well as for its ongoing contribution to fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and the international outreach of the startup ecosystem.
