09/02/2024
We at PLPG were honored to be part of and to co-organize the Greece-Austria Business Forum,with AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA, the Foreign Trade Center Athens, the Greek Embassy in Vienna and the HABOR – Hellenic Austrian Business Organization. 🚀 This event, held on March 11, 2025, in Vienna, brought together brilliant minds from both countries, focused on exploring the growing business opportunities in Greece. The forum showcased Greece as a booming tech hub with rapid digitalization, reforms, and a vibrant creative scene.
🎤 The event featured keynotes on bilateral economic relations, investment opportunities, tax frameworks, and much more. Panel discussions delved into IT, start-ups, innovation ecosystems, and the creative and film industries.
💬 It was inspiring to connect with top entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and innovators, forging valuable relationships that will drive growth and creativity across both regions.
Greece and Austria have immense potential for collaboration. Over recent years, Greece has transformed its economic landscape, becoming one of the most exciting emerging hubs for innovation in Southeast Europe. With a focus on technology, renewable energy, and tourism, Greece is now attracting significant foreign investment. Austria’s reputation for technical excellence makes it an ideal partner to help unlock Greece’s full potential.
There are already many successful cross-border collaborations. For example, an Austrian-Greek partnership led to the development of a €50M solar farm, and a luxury tourism project in the Peloponnese showed how this synergy creates profitable opportunities. While challenges like bureaucracy and market volatility exist, the solutions are within reach, with local expertise and strong partnerships paving the way.
Now is the perfect time for businesses to take action. Greece offers a dynamic market with untapped potential, and Austrian companies are perfectly positioned to explore these opportunities. Whether through investment, strategic partnerships, or securing funding, businesses can turn ideas into successful projects.
Looking ahead, HABOR – Hellenic Austrian Business Organization, an Austrian-Greek association focused on supporting trade and investment, will play a crucial role in fostering collaboration. With an opening event set for 2025 in Athens, HABOR – Hellenic Austrian Business Organization will provide a vital platform for businesses seeking to navigate and thrive in this promising market.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this exciting and inspiring event!
