Trade Mission to Greece

Organizing the Athens 2004 Olympic Games is a great challenge not only for Greece, but also for all Hellenes living abroad.

The Hellenic business community all over the world should answer this challenge by taking part in a series of events aimied at the systematic development of business co-operation schemes and the creation of Greek Business Networks worldwide.

Towards this purpose, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the assistance of SAE - World Council of Hellenes Abroad - and SEVE - the Exporters' Association of Northern Greece - invites the Greek Business World to take part in two days of business meetings in Thessaloniki. The meetings will be held on November 15 and 16, 2003 at the HELEXPO exhibition centre.

The main purpose of the event is the pre-arranged contacts between the Greek Business World all over the world, Greek companies and companies from the Balkan area and the rest of Europe from the following sectors of activity:

-- Food
-- Tourism
-- Construction/Building Materials & High Technology

Three Good Reasons To Participate

1. Presentation of possibilities and opportunities for the Greek Economy as a result of the 2004 Olympics, and the chances of co-operation in the wider area of Southeast Europe

2. Promotion of commercial agreements between the Hellenic Business Community all over the world and companies in Greece aiming at the attainment of special co-operation schemes in each branch. Individual prearranged meettings.
