About INVgr - The Business & Investment World of Greece

Launched in December 1998, INVgr is the leading on-line source for timely information and authoritative, English-language business intelligence on investing in and doing business with Greece.

Greek newspapers have voted INVgr the number-one authority in English on investment and business in Greece. Furthermore, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the business information arm of The Economist Group and world leader in country intelligence, lists INVgr among the popular sites for information on investing in Greece.

INVgr's objectives:

  • To provide comprehensive, authoritative, on-line, English-language intelligence on the business and investment world of Greece to investors, business people and other stakeholders from around the world on a subscription basis.

  • To promote Greece as an attractive place to do business and invest.

  • To promote and introduce Greek products, services and business interests to INVgr's registered subscribers.

Most of the business intelligence, reports, PDF documents and other premium content that INVgr's subscribers are able to read or download are provided by respected companies, organisations and professionals based in Greece and abroad. Some of INVgr's most popular special sections include:

  • South-East Europe:
    Since 1998, INVgr has been publishing business intelligence on the development, business activities, investments and corporate expansion plans of Greek companies, investors and entrepreneurs active in South-East Europe. This English-language intelligence is only available to INVgr's subscribers. A few excerpts of the information on file can be found in this page [click here], which is freely accessible to the general public. This special section of INVgr also focuses on Greece's trade relations with countries in the South-East Europe region and beyond and includes several constantly-growing launch pads with hyperlinks to useful English-language corporate, governmental and non-governmental Web sites, portals and vortals in this dynamic region that will give you a head start when investing in or doing business in/with this rapidly-expanding, dynamic region of Europe. Greece is the only nation in South-East Europe that is part of the euro-zone. Partly due to its strategic location and the fact that it is currently the only EU-member country in the Balkans, Greece has become the springboard for investing and doing business in South-East Europe.

  • Greece-Turkey:
    At the end of January 2002, INVgr introduced a new section, with the aim of promoting and strengthening the bilateral business, trade, tourism and investment relations between Greece and Turkey.

    In this popular section, INVgr:

    • Lists current employment opportunities in Greece.

    • Lists selected job vacancies that are advertised by Greek multinationals or international organisations requiring qualified staff for their overseas operations outside of Greece (e.g. South-East Europe, Middle East).

    • Profiles leading local and multinational employers in Greece.

  • Business, investment, real-estate, partnership, franchising, post-Olympic and other opportunities in Greece:

Special subscription discounts for INVgr's subscribers

INVgr's subscribers may benefit from attractive subscription offers of selected publications, which have been negotiated with well-respected Greek publishers. Here is just one example of such a special offer:

Business File quarterly magazine

Since 1991, a unique series of quarterly reports has been published in parallel with Oikonomiki Viomichaniki Epitheorisi.

Business File is a quarterly, English-language publication each issue of which analyses a different aspect of Greek industry or business. They are independent, editorial surveys of some 30,000 words, researched and prepared by Mr. Robert McDonald, a London-based freelance writer and broadcaster with more than 35 years' experience of Greek public affairs. He is the contributor to the Economist Intelligence Unit's quarterly Country Report: Greece and annual Country Commerce: Greece. He is also the author of the quarterly industrial survey series Business File published in Athens by Kerkyra Publications Ltd.

The exhaustively researched Business File reports examine the legislative context, the current issues, the major players and their policies. The emphasis is on hard fact but there is also interpretation and analyses. Subjects to date have included energy, capital markets, shipping, food, telecommunications and many others. Each survey is published in Greek in the relevant issue of Oikonomiki Viomichaniki Epitheorisi.

INV International Ltd. fully supports the international Olympic Truce initiative. The idea of the Olympic Truce -- also known as 'Ekechereia' -- dates back to an ancient Hellenic tradition. In keeping with this tradition all hostilities would cease during the Olympic Games. The Olympic Truce was fully respected for twelve centuries of Olympic Games in antiquity.

With the view to promoting, at all times, the institution of the Olympic Truce at selected events during the Greek EU Presidency 2003 with multinational participation, information will be available on this international peace initiative, as well as the possibility of holding special Truce signing ceremonies by leader and personalities wishing to contribute to the spread of this institution.

INV International supports the campaign to return the Parthenon Marbles to Athens

INV International Ltd. fully supports the global campaign to return the Parthenon Marbles to Athens by running banners on INVgr and INVbg that are hyperlinked to the Parthenon 2004 Campaign Web site and by providing INVgr's/INVbg's subscribers and Web site visitors with comprehensive information, useful links and interesting quotes on this issue of major national and international importance.

The Parthenon Marbles - Missing since 1801

"... We see ancient cultural chains broken, past traditions crumble and wonderful special characteristics wither away. Our common memory is threatened, our soul shrivels, our creativity is stifled, our present becomes rootless. 'He who has nothing old has nothing new', says an Arab proverb. This past must emerge from the museums in order to become a source of inspiration and creativity, to become the instrument and the joy of the people..."
The late Melina Mercouri (1923-1994), Mexico City, July 29,1982 [full speech]
(World Conference on Cultural Policies, organised by UNESCO.)
