Keynote Speaker

Dimitris Ntaras

A.B. Anthropology Candidate

Class of 2021, Princeton University

Dimitris is an Anthropology junior at Princeton University with a longstanding ambition to make a positive impact in the world. As a high school student, he participated in Junior Achievement Greece’s Company Program, where, inspired by their own family experiences, he and a team of equally dedicated classmates built, coded and marketed a novel GPS tracking device to help protect people suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. After a rewarding multi-year run with that endeavor, Dimitris is currently developing a startup at Princeton centered around affordable water filtration for developing countries. When not in lecture or at the Entrepreneurship Hub, he helps lead IgniteSTEM, a student effort trying to improve the STEM education experience for younger scholars.
