The US Commerce Department and the Commerce Department of the State of
Illinois, the International Commerce Club of Chicago and several US
enterprises from the high technology and investment sectors will
participate in a Technology and Investments Symposium, organised by the
United Hellenic-American Congress (UHAC) and the World Council of
Hellenes Abroad (SAE) in Chicago on September 29.
The symposium on "Technology and investments in Greece: Economic centre
in Southeastern Europe and a gate to the Balkans and the EU" is

over the response of both the public and private sector to the
symposium.

sponsors of the symposium. Greek Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas
will be the main speaker of the symposium. The Greek minister will
present the opportunities offered by Greece to foreign investors.
