Reasons U.S. companies should consider exporting to Greece

  • Shipping:  Greece’s shipping sector is among the world’s strongest, with Greek shipowners controlling over one-fifth of the world’s entire fleet. As a major industry which accounts for 7 percent of Greece’s GDP, this sector is a big consumer of U.S. products and solutions ranging from equipment to digital solutions. 
     
  • Energy Infrastructure: With major planned investments in natural gas infrastructure and electricity grid interconnections and upgrades, Greece offers opportunities for U.S. energy, infrastructure, project management and digital firms. By leveraging LNG import facilities and pursuing projects that facilitate the northward flow of gas and electricity through new and repurposed energy infrastructure, Greece is advancing towards its ambitious goal of becoming a major energy hub for the region.
     
  • Firefighting: With wildfires in Greece and throughout Europe becoming commonplace every summer, there is a strong need for innovative firefighting solutions to help Greece enhance its preparation to combat wildfires.
     
  • Geographic location:  Greece’s geographic location in the Mediterranean and southeastern Europe is an advantage for companies seeking to serve regional customers. Greece can be considered the doorway to the Balkans and an energy, logistics and transportation hub.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
