The Greeks are Back

Greece as an attractive investment destination:
Greek senior executives working abroad offer their insights, experience, and advice

The Starting Point

Everywhere you look, in any country of the world, you will find Greeks successful in various fields and businesses.

Especially in the business community, hundreds of Greeks excel in senior positions in large multinational companies around the world. These are experienced executives, with deep international knowledge and experience.

While developing their impressive professional careers abroad, these executives always have their hearts and souls in Greece. From their international vantage point, they can more clearly see both the positives and the negatives of their homeland. They cheer the successes of Greece, and yet feel discouraged by the shortcomings, especially when those shortcomings persist.

Greek executives abroad are eager to put their knowledge and experience at the disposal of Greece, so the country can overcome hurdles and shortcomings impeding its attractiveness as an investment destination.

The Idea

Organizing, on an annual basis, a conference with Greek senior executives of multinational companies abroad, to discuss and put forward specific proposals to the Greek state to improve the framework for attracting foreign investment.

The Objectives

To provide state entities with direct knowledge of how the headquarters of multinational companies evaluate Greece’s policies to attract foreign investment.

To enable Greece to adopt best practices of other countries in attracting foreign investment, through the knowledge and experience of Greek senior executives working abroad.

To enable the state to mobilize Greek senior executives abroad and provide them with the appropriate policies and tools to promote Greece within their companies as an investment destination.

To enable Greek senior executives of multinational companies abroad to submit policy proposals to the state, in order to improve the attractiveness of Greece as an investment destination.
