Launched by President Xi Jinping in September 2013, BRI has the ambition to make an important contribution to global economic growth and prosperity and already has the support of the EU, the World Bank, the EBRD and many other financial and economic institutions.

As China's BRI vision gradually turns into reality, new and exciting opportunities for greater international collaboration continue to emerge and Greece is among the 63 countries to join this global initiative.

China's presence in Greece highlights the strategic importance China places on Greece as a rising container and logistics hub in the region.

Join our panel of experts to discuss the implications of China's grand scheme to link Asia and Europe together via new massive infrastructure projects and what does this mean for Greece. The event will also provide an insight into the opportunities and challenges of the BRI for Greek business.
