The online platform ProGreece, a new interactive social network available to Greek businesses, marks another successful effort aimed at promoting Greek businesses abroad. More than 500 Greek businesses have already registered on the new ProGreece platform, seeking to strengthen their export activities and promote their innovative products and services, with the prospect of concluding new trade agreements with German businesses.
The creation of the ProGreece platform is an initiative of the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Thessaloniki and the Greek-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and is supported by the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Association of Industries of Northern Greece, the Association of Exporters of Northern Greece, the Association of Immigrants and Greeks from Germany, the Young Entrepreneurs Association of Thessaloniki and Mediascape Ltd.
The online platform ProGreece connects the supply of Greek companies that have surplus production or wish to expand their business cycle with the corresponding demand of the German market. It is a collective effort to showcase Greek entrepreneurship in the German industry, aiming to strengthen Greek companies, support employment and create stable partnerships between Greek and German businesses, restoring the German market's confidence in Greek.
The Greek companies register for free on the ProGreece platform, create their own corporate profile and can specifically search for suitable business partners in the German market, through the social networking services provided to them. Specifically, the capabilities offered by this platform are the creation of corporate presentations, the showcasing of the productive capacities of Greek companies (supply side), the collection of data on demand from German companies (demand side), the matching of supply and demand and informing interested companies, direct communication between businesses and the creation of a «social professional network» (social business network).
As noted by the General Director of the Hellenic-German Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Athanasios Kelemis, the online platform ProGreece represents a significant addition to the range of initiatives aimed at boosting the outward orientation of the Greek economy. Emphasizing the competitive potential of Greek businesses and the innovative Greek exportable products that can meet the needs of the German market, Mr. Kelemis invites every interested Greek entrepreneur to claim an active presence in the broader European economy.
