8th Annual Capital Link CSR in Greece Forum 2018 | CSR in Greece | 28 June 2018 | Hilton Athens Hotel, 46 Vassilissis Sofias Avenue Athens, 11528 - Greece

The Globalization of the Greek Entrepreneurship has significant benefits for the Greek economy and thus by extension for the welfare of society as a whole. The expansion of Greek businesses into foreign markets and the attraction of foreign investments into Greece are two pillars for economic growth that can generate revenues and jobs.

The globalization of Greek Entrepreneurship exemplifies itself through a wide range of activities – from exports to serving the international markets through local subsidiaries. It includes small scale operations to Greek multinationals – with the common denominator being the Greek Entrepreneurial ability to compete successfully in a global marketplace. And on the other side, it is also exemplified by attracting foreign investments into a multitude of sectors where Greece has distinct competitive advantages. The positive impact from this trend is particularly important at this time, as Greece is gradually recovering from recession, and is returning to a period of economic growth.
