President's Address

The Union of Hellenic Chambers (KEEE) in collaboration with the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB), the Commercial & Industrial Chamber of Rodopi, the Chamber of Professionals and Handicrafts of Rodopi, the Chamber of Edirne and the Foreign Economic Relations Board (DEIK), would like to invite you to the 2nd Regional Business Forum entitled "Regional Economic Cooperation between Greece & Turkey", which will take place on 14-15 January 2011, at Arcadia Hotel, in Komotini, Greece.

The 2nd Regional Business Forum is strategically placed to answer questions critical to the Industries of Tourism, Food, Furniture, Construction Materials, Tourism, Transportation and Services amidst the tight economic situation experience by the majority of the companies in the region. Following the success of the 1st Regional Business Forum we plan to continue the promotion of trade and business among participating companies from the two bordering countries. Presentations, discussions and most importantly B2B meetings will foster trade and development between Greece and Turkey.

This forum is important for all industries dealing with or being interested in developing business with Turkish and Greek counterparts respectively. Early participation will maximise

exposure and business meetings requested from companies of the neighbouring countries.

Wishing you a prosperous new economic year, we thank you in advance for your kind

cooperation and contribution to the success of this very important business event.

Sincerely yours,

George Kassimatis
