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

Additionally, there is the strong need for tourism IT services as the country aims to diversify and increase tourism options.
- Shipping: Greece’s shipping sector is among the world’s strongest, with Greek shipowners controlling over one-fifth of the world’s entire fleet. As a major industry which accounts for 7% of Greece’s GDP, this sector is a big consumer of U.S. products and solutions ranging from equipment to digital solutions. As the industry seeks to comply with global decarbonization targets, they will increasingly need ICT solutions to increase energy efficiency and performance.
- Firefighting: With the onslaught of climate change, wildfires in Greece and throughout Europe are becoming common every summer. There is a strong need for innovative firefighting solutions to help Greece enhance its preparation to combat wildfires.
