The proposed city, which Tomazini describes as similar to Silicon Valley but more in line with France's Sophia Antipolis, will be a hub for research and development technology, bioengineering, robotics, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry. Tomazinis has spearheaded the grassroots effect by establishing a committee and a company to approach the Greek government on the idea.
