Today, Greece is at a particularly challenging threshold. The new government has affirmed its priority on positioning the Greek Economy to participate in the global recovery through a series of initiatives that will improve the country's macro-economic fundamentals.
As the global economic recovery is on its way, Greece can take advantage of its unique and inherent competitive advantages as a safe gateway to Southeastern Europe for international investors. The global economic recovery may present several business and investment opportunities in Greece itself.
These key areas of strategic interest include tourism, global shipping, information technology, renewable energy, and real estate, and of Greece's unique position as a logistics hub for a wide geographic area including Southeastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Black Sea. At the same time, the Athens Exchange provides investors with additional portfolio investment opportunities.
Our New York Forum enables investors to get an update on the challenges and opportunities in these areas through a series of presentations and panel discussions, coupled with networking opportunities and one-one-one meetings.
The Forum gathers annually a select group in excess of 500 business and political leaders from the United States and Greece. Our target audience is the management of top US corporations, institutional investors, commercial and investment bankers, financial advisors and brokers, analysts, and prominent Greek Americans with an active interest or involvement with Greece and the greater region.
This year's "Invest in Greece Forum" marks eleven years of consistent and laborious efforts to raise awareness about Greece as an investment destination to a wider investor audience. For the fifth consecutive year, our conference is under the auspices of the Ministry of Economy, Competitiveness & Shipping and the recently appointed Minister Mrs. Louka Katseli will be the Keynote Speaker.
Our Capital Link Forum is the only investment conference organized outside Greece with such a long lasting and successful history. It has been established as the main venue, anticipated every year, for the updating of U.S. investors on the trends, developments and outlook of the Greek economy and the investment and business opportunities in Greece and the wider region.
The Conference is organized in cooperation with the New York Stock Exchange, which in the context of the Forum also hosts the "Greece Day' at NYSE with the Minister and the CEOs of the NYSE listed companies ringing the Closing Bell.
