Hermes Expo International tries consistently to respond to the fast developing needs of the global economy by focusing on ways to tighter integrate trade and investment between the United States, Greece, and Southeastern Europe.
In summary, our goals are to
(1) Provide networking opportunities and promote trade relations between Greece, Southeastern Europe and the Americas;
(2) explore investment opportunities in Greece and the Southeastern European region; and
(3) develop business and government networking between Greece and the rest of Europe with the United States of America.
Active pursuance of these goals have succeeded in making Hermes Expo the moving force and catalyst behind the unity of the Greek American business community;
a critical means of strengthening the U.S.-Greek trade relations; and a
contributing factor in the creation of a climate of closer communication and understanding between Greece and the Greeks living abroad.
