Dear Reader,
As we reflect and look back on 2019, we can proudly say that we are pleased with all our successful activities and achievements, which we treasure, as they have been a result of the hard work, passion and dedication to our members. In terms of figures, throughout 2019, we have received over 300 businessmen from the Arab world and 600 businessmen from varied business sectors in Greece – a substantial increase compared to last years.
Nevertheless, we constantly aim higher as there is still plenty to be achieved. We see next year lined-up with success and further achievements and therefore, we are looking forward to the events of this year with even more determination and enthusiasm. It is worth mentioning, that last year’s newly introduced event - The Roundtable ‘Meet the Arab Ambassadors’, which was positively received by everyone, inspired us to launch more new initiatives.
For 2020, we are planning to introduce events of completely different nature, which we believe, will add value in terms of contents and participation from two Arab countries. A small example will be the presentation of the members’ networking event, which will give the opportunity to our members in Greece and the Arab world to meet, discuss, interact and create business partnerships. Please stay tuned as more information will be announced in the coming two months.
March 19 will witness the convening of the 4 th Workshop “Doing Business in
the Arab World”. Participants from Greece and the Arab world will have the advantage to meet Greek and Arab Commercial Attaches and obtain valuable information on the business environment, opportunities and other relevant issues. Most importantly, however, the Greek participants will have the opportunity to conduct direct B2B meetings with the visiting Arab delegates.
We look forward to your participation and active role in the Workshop.
With the best of wishes for a productive and successful year.
