Greek Road Show to Australia to Attract Investment

ATHENS, Greece, December 1 - The Invest in Greece Agency, in collaboration with the Greek Embassy in
Australia, is organizing Investment Forums in Australia from December 3rd
until December 9th, to present investment opportunities in Greece in the
sectors of Financial Services, Tourism, Renewable Energy and Information
Technology.

The first investment forum will take place at Perth on December 3rd
(Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia, 180 Hay Street, East
Perth), the second one will be held on December 7th in Sydney (Industry &
Investment NSW, The Hamilton Room, NSW Trade and Investment Centre, Level 47
MLC Centre, Cnr King and Castlereagh streets), while the last one is
scheduled on December 9th in Melbourne (Melbourne Observation Deck Rialto,
Theatre - ground floor).

Australia was selected as the destination for this road show mainly
because of its significant FDI outflows and the investment sectors that it
has in common with Greece. Also, given the extensive and very active Greek
community in Australia, the potential to strengthen the economic and business
ties between the two countries is substantial.

By investing in Greece, investors will:

    - Follow the footsteps of numerous international companies,

    - Maximize their chances of success by investing in the dynamic sectors
      of energy and tourism,

    - Benefit from governmental financial support, reaching 60% of the
