WELCOME

Geoffrey R. Pyatt U.S. Ambassador to Greece

In September 2018, the United States are returning in the Thessaloniki International Fair as the honored country at the most dynamic exhibition in southeast Europe that will bring together government and business leaders, “doers”, influencers and 300.000 buyers and professionals.

Simos Anastasopoulos President, American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce

The theme of the U.S. presence will be “Harnessing the Power of Innovation and Creativity”, aiming at showcasing America’s leadership in driving ingenuity and creativity in a variety of sectors from technology to education. We are looking forward in welcoming you in Thessaloniki and in working with you in shaping new opportunities and partnerships.

I am proud that the United States will be the “Honored Country” at next year’s International Fair in Greece. This historic business and trade exhibition will showcase American technology, enterprise, and innovation on the world stage. We look very much forward to sending a high-level delegation to attend this wonderful event.
