Welcome Message 

Dear Colleagues, Students, Partners, and Friends of the Refrigeration Industry,

It is a true pleasure and honor to welcome you to a special celebration of World Refrigeration Day 2025. We are especially proud to be hosting this event for the very first time in Greece, at the prestigious National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).

This year’s theme, "Cool Skills," emphasizes a fundamental pillar of our industry: the importance of technical expertise — both in equipping the next generation and in supporting the ongoing development of seasoned professionals. In a time marked by rapid technological advancement and innovation, modern technical skills are more crucial than ever for ensuring both sustainable business practices and environmental stewardship.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all who made today possible — our distinguished speakers, engaged students, dedicated professionals, and the organizing team. A special word of appreciation goes to NTUA for hosting us, and to our sponsors for their generous support.

Wishing you all an enjoyable and inspiring World Refrigeration Day — undoubtedly the ‘coolest’ event on this year’s professional calendar!

On behalf of the World Refrigeration Day Secretariat
