There are some moments in the business journey that are not measured by numbers 💙
The great tribute of Sunday’s Real News to the revival of the Vasilitsa Ski Center by our group is such a moment. For the President of our group, Dr. Dimitrios Derpanis, and the CEO of U Resort, Giovanni Litos, this project is not just an ambitious project. It is a duty. It is a return to their place of birth and their roots, contributing in practice to the economic revival of the wider region.
A big thank you to Real News for the article and to the entire team of D GROUP and MA Architects who make this vision a reality.
We are turning a page. We are returning to where we belong. With eyes set on the future
Our Group is moving forward with a landmark agreement that reshapes the landscape of Greek private education, joining forces with George Poulopoulos’ Bright Group. This strategic partnership is accompanied by an ambitious €52 million investment program, laying the foundation for the creation of the country’s first fully vertically integrated educational organization.
From Kindergarten to University: A Unified Educational Ecosystem
The shared vision of the two groups is centered on building a complete learning pathway. For the first time in Greece, the infrastructure is being shaped so that a student can access high-level educational services from preschool through primary school, middle school, and high school, then move seamlessly into their university studies within the same academic environment.
As part of this plan, the acquisition of a historic private school in Athens’ northern suburbs — with a legacy of nearly 120 years — is currently underway. Its facilities will undergo a thorough overhaul with substantial investment, in order to house both the school structures and the new university academic unit.
This new investment complements and strengthens D GROUP’s already strong footprint in education and skills certification. The goal of our President, Dr. Dimitrios Derpanis, is to build a modern educational ecosystem attuned to the demands of the times — bridging the gap between academic training and the real needs of today’s labor market.
With steady steps, D GROUP reaffirms its leading role in innovation, investing in the future of the new generation and redefining the standards of private education in Greece.
