The next decade is set to see sustained growth in tourism, ICT, energy, environmental sciences, food, beverage and agriculture, logistics, and life sciences. Greeceโ€™s exceptional human capital, advanced infrastructure, geostrategic position, and potential for economic expansion are attracting investor interest from around the world. And Greeceโ€™s newly designed investment framework supports the creation of new businesses, new synergies and new partnerships.

An outward-looking economy that is focused on long-term growth means that investors can look forward to highly favorable returns. As a member of the European Union and the Eurozone, Greece continues to be the economic hub of Southeast Europe, an ideal gateway to the Middle East, Western Europe, and North Africa, and an emerging logistics hub for the entire region.

The Greek government has taken a proactive role in charting a determined course for Greece that is friendly to investment, promotes growth, and welcomes new business. Welcome to a new economy. Welcome to a new Greece.
