Reasons U.S. companies should consider exporting to Greece:

  • Long-term tourism trends and potential:  Greece’s tourist trade continues to grow, and the country will need continued investment to upgrade tourist facilities and infrastructure.
  • Shipping:  Greece’s shipping sector is among the world’s strongest and is buffered to a degree from economic uncertainty in the country.
  • Geographic location:  Greece’s geographic location in the Mediterranean and Southeastern Europe is an advantage for companies seeking to serve regional customers.
  • Hydrocarbons exploration expanding:  After several decades of intermittent and uncommitted efforts, the Greek government now seeks to advance domestic hydrocarbons exploration and development processes.  Geological surveys indicate Greece may have oil and gas deposits of possible interest to mid-sized firms, and U.S. firms may consider participating in tenders as exploration participants or as service or equipment providers.
