The permanent representative of Greece to the European Union, Ambassador Ioannis Vrailas, during his greeting, stated that "Greece, like all European countries, faces a double challenge: strengthening the competitiveness of its economy and enhancing its greater participation in the European and global value chains. Therefore, it is of great importance that Greek companies take advantage of European financial funds and programs. The recent success of three Greek programs shows us the path we must follow, but also the possibilities we have to upgrade our position and achieve our goals."
