Cooperation between TIF-HELEXPO and the National Bank of Greece

TIF-HELEXPO is embarking on a strategic partnership with the National Bank of Greece, a leader in the financial field. This is an important move that takes place within the context of the company’s new strategies for ‘alliances’ with important financial players of the country, in an effort to enlarge the national exhibition agency and create synergies that will benefit the Greek economy.

TIF-HELEXPO and the National Bank decided on an initial two-year cooperation that aims at both at supporting the company’s actions and at the presence and active participation of the National Bank of Greece in the rich exhibition schedule of the national exhibition agency and all the events it organises.

The two institutions share common fields of interest, as the National Bank supports the organisation of sector trade fairs every year, as well as events on business and finance, while TIF-HELEXPO breathes life into the local economy and cares for the promotion of the Greek business community both domestically and in the international markets. This fact created fertile ground for the development of a mutually beneficial partnership and highlighted the framework for supporting Greek entrepreneurship.
