During his visit to the United States, AmChamGR President John D. Saracakis advanced Chamber’s strategic engagement agenda, reinforcing Greece’s positioning as a credible investment destination and a rising regional hub for energy, technology, and infrastructure. At the 27th Annual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum in New York, he highlighted the renewed focus of the new U.S. Administration on strategic cooperation with Greece and the resulting increase in investor interest across logistics, energy, and digital infrastructure.
On the margins of the Forum, discussions with senior U.S. officials focused on enabling greater participation of Greek companies in transatlantic infrastructure initiatives. The trip concluded with a high-level roundtable, hosted by AmChamGR’s Washinton D.C. Office, bringing together the Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis and Greek-American business leaders to identify concrete pathways for accelerating U.S. investment into Greece.
Recognizing Greece’s robust economic trajectory and the significance of its expanding strategic partnership with the United States, the Deputy Prime Minister invited participants to consider the investment prospects emerging in Greece. During the roundtable discussion, it was examined how the Greek government might further facilitate the repatriation of its diaspora, more effectively articulate sector-specific investment opportunities, and advance the essential market reforms that will further enhance Greece’s investment environment. A specific proposal raised for consideration by both governments was the modernization of the 1953 Greece–U.S. Tax Treaty, so as to more accurately reflect the dynamism and potential of the bilateral strategic economic partnership in the 21st century.
