The event in its 24^th year anniversary will be held on Friday, December 9, 2022, as an in-person event, at the Metropolitan Club in New York.

 The “Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum” is an International Summit about Greece hosted in New York. With a 23-year track record, this Forum, has been engaged in a systematic effort to promote Greece as a business and investment destination to a global audience. The Conference will outline in a comprehensive and thorough way the latest developments and the prospects of the Greek economy, aiming at highlighting the business and investment opportunities presented in the country and in the wider region.

Greece has made a notable rebound in the eyes of both the global capital markets and the international investment community in recent years. The significant transformation of the country’s investment and economic climate has resulted in a flurry of new and exciting investment activity in the country, signaling a new path forward for Greece, one of modernization, stability, and trust.

This new era of economic growth is due in part to ambitious reforms, immense brainpower and entrepreneurship, and hope for the future in Greece, making the country an appealing destination for foreign investors, despite the uncertainties caused by the many consequences of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

The Greek delegation comprising of senior government officials, led by the Prime Minister, and a group of private sector business leaders, will update a global audience on the reforms, developments and outlook of the Greek economy and each of the main sectors highlighting trends, challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, a group of international investors financiers, and bankers as well as representatives from major Greek and European Organizations, will share their insight on Greece as a business and investment destination.

The Prime Minister of Greece, H.E. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, will open the Forum (via webcast) and deliver the Greek Government’s message to international investors, titled “Sustaining Growth & Investment Momentum”.

The Conference will conclude with a formal dinner, which will focus on the close business and political ties between the US and Greece, with government representation from both countries as well as the presence of prominent Greek-American elected officials in the US government (Representatives and Senators).
