Greek-Turkish business meeting held in Istanbul on investment opportunities in Greece
Investment opportunities in Greece were presented at a joint event by Türkiye's Economy and Trade Association (ETD) and Greece's export- and investments-promotion agency 'Enterprise Greece' at Greece's General Consulate in Istanbul on Thursday.
Interest in investing in Greece by Turkish business owners was particularly high, given the attendance at the event titled "Exploring new business ventures in Greece," which took place at a packed Sismanoglio Hall in the city. The main sectors of interest included tourism, real estate, supply chains, cyclical economy, technology, and innovation.
Addressing Greek and Turkish business owners, Greek Consul General in Istanbul Ambassador Konstantinos Koutras referred to the achievements of the economic strategy implemented by the Greek government that are recognized internationally. He underlined that this development is based on a series of reforms highlighting Greece's standing as a destination of international investments, and noted that the boosting of economic cooperation between Türkiye and Greece is already bearing fruit in the investment sector. He also mentioned the significant tourism flows between the two countries, especially following the 10-day visa program implemented for Turkish visitors to several Greek islands.
Ambassador Koutras called for a minute-long silence in memory of the twin catastrophic earthquakes of Kahramanmaraş that killed tens of thousands, two years ago on the day.
Following presentations by the Greek consulate and sector leaders, Greek agencies met privately with Turkish companies at scheduled meetings to provide more information to interested Turkish business owners and exchange views in the context of possible cooperation.
