AmChamGR activated its network of contacts in Greece and the USA to ensure a strong presence of American companies in the Exhibition for further strengthening the bilateral ties of the two countries, and keep potentially interested parties updated about business issues and current opportunities in Greece.
AmChamGR has significant experience in exhibitions’ organization as it has organized, in collaboration with the US Embassy in Greece, the American Pavilions at major international exhibitions in Greece, such as the Defendory Int’l Defense Exhibition (1988-2008), the Posidonia Int’l Shipping Exhibition (1986-2004), and the Thessaloniki International Fair since 1932. Additionally, for the last 8 years, it organizes every year the Hellenic Pavilion at the AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, USA, supporting the extroversion and networking efforts of Hellenic defense companies in cooperation with Enterprise Greece and under the auspices of the Hellenic MoD.
The USA Pavilion is expected to attract visitors’ interest with its impressive exhibits.
DEFEA-Defense Exhibition Athens is a high-level international exhibition, in which leading Greek and international companies will present defense systems of land, sea, air, national security and cyber security. The Exhibition is organized, in collaboration with SEKPY-Hellenic Manufacturers of Defense and Security Material Association, under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Defense-General Directorate of Defense Investment and Armaments, the Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy and the support of the Hellenic Aerospace Security and Defense Industries Group (HASDIG) and the Hellenic Association of Space Industry.
DEFEA 2021, takes place at an exceptional time for the repositioning of Greece on the international defense exhibitions’ map and the development of the Hellenic defense industry. The exhibition aims to be worthy of the history of Greece’s defense exhibitions and of the importance of its geopolitical location.
