Italy's trade agency ICE is organising a workshop in Milan on 12 April that will focus on investment and economic cooperation opportunities in Greece, the foreign ministry announced on Friday.
The workshop will unveil "interesting" new possibilities for Italian companies in Greece, where a privatisation process is underway in several sectors amid an economic rebound from the prolonged recession that hit the country in 2009, the ministry said.
Energy – especially natural gas, electricity and renewable energy sources – infrastructure, logistics and transport networks, water treatment systems, ports and ship building, ICT, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, tourism industry and agro-food are sectors of the Greek economy that are being opened up to private investors according to the ministry.
Current forecasts predict an average growth in Greece’s gross domestic product of 2.5 percent this year and next, on the back of estimated GDP growth 1.6 percent in 2017, the ministry stated.
The 'Greece: New Investment and Economic Cooperation Opportunities' workshop taking place at Milan's Palazzo delle Stelline is free of charge and participants should register by 30 March 2018 on ICE's website.
