The much-awaited 7th Arab-Hellenic Economic Forum, the biggest event of the Arab-Hellenic Chamber focuses, one more year, on strategic sectors of the economy, in order to enhance the Greek and Arab businesses in their efforts to expand and increase their presence in the Arab world and Greece respectively.

The first day, which was dedicated to Maritime and Port Industries and had the support of important professional maritime organizations, included sessions with high-level speakers and it is scheduled in a way in order to gather high-profile shipowners under the same roof, thus making the 7th Arab-Hellenic Economic Forum a flagship event of the maritime industry of the country.

The morning of the Forum’s second day included sessions with significant presentations on the sectors of constructions-infrastructure and energy while, the afternoon B2B meetings that took place in all business sectors, a steady part of the Arab-Hellenic Chamber’s events, constituted another opportunity for development of business partnerships, in order to increase the trade balance between the two sides.

General Outlook:

The “7th Arab-Hellenic Economic Forum” was convened in Athens, Greece, on 27-28 November 2018, under the title “Greece and the Arab World: A New Agenda for Growth”. This Forum came at a time of positive changes in Greece and the Arab world. Greece is successfully managing its exit from the economic crisis, anticipating a period of economic growth, while some Arab countries start emerging from a long period of instability and turmoil, moving towards reconstruction and modernization of their infrastructure. At the same time, other Arab countries are pursuing a strategy for diversification of resources in order to cope with the new economic trends. All these positive indications suggest a new agenda for future cooperation between Arabs and Greeks, based on the transfer of technology and know-how from Greece to the Arab world.

This Forum gave priority to sectors of importance for both sides, in maritime, port industries, energy, and construction, with the association of professional organizations in these sectors. We are also aimed at enlarging the Arab participation to include, this time, the Sultanate of Oman, Yemen, Somalia, and Djibouti, with other Arab states in order to enrich the deliberations and networking in this Forum. The program included direct business meetings between the Arab visiting delegates and their Greek counterparts in all sectors of interest.

Level of Participation:

Ministers and high-ranking Government officials, Arab Ambassadors, Presidents of Federations and Chambers of Commerce in the Arab world, top decision-makers and CEO’s.
