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.
