Greek Exports Forum

At this backdrop, this year’s Greek Exports Forum will highlight the major problems faced by exporters due to the conflicts in the eastern Mediterranean and the attacks in the Suez region, and the assistance in addressing them that competent bodies can provide, spearheaded by staff and the local Offices for Economic and Commercial Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At the same time, the event will highlight the opportunities that are out there for export businesses, providing valuable information and useful tools to bolster their export activity, while also bringing exporters into contact with potential customers through B2B meetings with importers from various countries.

The Greek Exports Forum will be held digitally through LiveOn Expo Complex, the innovative 3D exhibition and conference center of LiveOn, the Digital Business Communication and Events Platform.

Greek Exports Awards

At the same time, the event will showcase and reward businesses that stood out in the export sector in yet another difficult year impacted by geopolitical conflicts and high costs.

The Greek Exports Awards 2024 ceremony will be hybrid, with guests attending physically at the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso and also through LiveOn Expo Complex.

For the 12th consecutive year, the Union of Diplomatic Officers for Economic & Commercial Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with ethosEVENTS, the financial and business portal banks.com.gr and the financial and investment magazine HRIMA will organize the Greek Exports Forum, which will be held this year along with Greek Exports Awards.
