During the visit, deep appreciation was expressed for the Israel–Greece Chamber of Commerce:
● By the organizers

● By members of the delegation from the fields of economy, law, business, and government
● Including many who know the Chamber’s work closely in recent years
This appreciation highlighted the Chamber’s contribution and together with its sister Chamber, the Greek Israeli Chamber of Commerce to building trust, creating meaningful connections, leading professional engagements, and transforming the economic relationship between Israel and Greece into a practical, stable, and growing reality.
A Special Presence:
Our dear friend Kosmas Pentakalos visited Israel for the first time – at the invitation of Benny Moran Productions and through the personal and professional connection led by the Chamber’s CEO.
His presence symbolized continuity, strengthening trust, and a genuine desire to build and grow together.
The Chamber’s Programmatic Contribution to the Conference:
The Chamber’s CEO, Cobi Bitton, delivered remarks to conference participants and moderated a central panel focused on the future of commercial opportunities between Israel and Greece and within the wider regional sphere.
Panel participants included:
● Yianos Gramatidis – Senior Partner at Bahas, Gramatidis & Partners Law Firm ● Marc Philips – Partner at Herzog Fox & Neeman
The discussion highlighted the broad potential in the fields of maritime trade, seaports, logistics, shipping, infrastructure, energy, desalination, technology, and innovation — with a clear message:
Together — we can generate movement, growth, and real impact. And sometimes, indeed, the pictures tell the story better than any words.
A heartfelt thank you to all partners, participants, hosts, and supporters.
We continue forward — with determination, attentiveness, leadership, and meaningful human connection.
