The 22nd Annual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum: "Greece – Looking Ahead With Confidence" will take place on Tuesday - Wednesday, December 15th - 16th, 2020. This is an International Summit about Greece in New York organized in cooperation with the New York Stock Exchange and major global investment banks. The Forum will feature government and business leaders from Greece, Europe and the United States, and top executives from the investment, financial and business communities.
The Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum, through a unique 22-year track record of success is recognized as the main platform for updating US investors on developments in Greece, business and investment opportunities and the attractiveness of Greece as an investment destination. It gathers the elite of the financial and investment communities, as well business and government leaders from the United States and Greece.
Foreign investments are of critical significance for the re-launching of the economy. With a proven track record and wide acceptance within the business, financial and investment communities, the Capital Link Forum also offers the perfect timing to communicate the Prime Minister’s relayed message at the HELEXPO on the Government’s 12 initiatives to support the economy, which he described as "12 steps of confidence", and "bridges that will transfer Greece and the Greeks from the health and economic turmoil to the calm waters of progress and hope”. A message that will enhance investor interest and confidence and help attract foreign investments.
With the adequate incentives provided by the Government to international investors for new business in Greece and with the actual new significant investments that had been announced within the first months of 2020, as well as with its new measures to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, it is obvious that the Greek Government has provided a solid basis for the re-launching of Greek economy. Greece’s underlying investment story remains intact, in spite of the coronavirus crisis.
The Forum will highlight the efforts to achieve the shift of the economy to a new, sustainable development model for Greece of tomorrow. A confident economy: productive, technologically advanced, innovative, extroverted, intelligent, and competitive, which has disproved the pessimists and attracted the recognition and praise of European partners. The Forum will focus on business and investment opportunities in key sectors of the economy.
The Greek Delegation will include senior members of the new government and business leaders who will present to US investors the developments and reforms in the Greek economy and the opportunities ahead. The Forum will also feature senior executives from the major investment banks which support the Forum and other market experts.
