ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
The Israel-Greece Chamber of Commerce is a legally registered non-profit organization in the State of Israel, operating under the umbrella framework of bilateral chambers of commerce in Israel. Its mission is to strengthen and promote the unique economic and commercial ties between Israel and Greece across various fields, such as trade (import and export), investments, and research and development.
The Chamber resumed its activities in 2017 with the goal of raising awareness among businesspeople, companies, entrepreneurs, and economic and cultural organizations about the importance of maintaining economic relations and business cooperation between Israel and Greece.
The Chamber focuses on issues related to trade and business that may arise in dealings with government and commercial institutions and organizations. In addition, we disseminate and promote business opportunities, projects, exhibitions, and seminars, and organize conferences and professional meetings related to Israel-Greece relations.
As part of its ongoing activities, the Chamber enjoys close cooperation with the Greek Embassy in Israel, the Israeli Embassy in Greece, the umbrella organization of bilateral chambers of commerce, the Greece-Israel Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce, the Israel Export Institute, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce, local authorities, academic centers, government ministries, the Israeli Association for Advanced Technology Industries, and other organizations.
The Chamber's leadership makes a significant professional and economic contribution to its activities and plays an important role in commercial and economic organizations in both Israel and Greece, greatly facilitating the Chamber's work.
We also assist in managing business trips. We will organize your business trip to Israel or Greece by coordinating B2B meetings, including professional accompaniment of your representative to all meetings.
