The country is also setting up an Innovation Zone in N.Greece that includes a Technology Park, Research Institutes, Science and Technology Incubators and a 150,000 sqm IT Park.
The Greek delegation members also agreed that it was the right time to drive its investment opportunities in the Middle East against the setting of its flourishing technology sector, and vice versa for the utilization of the favourable position of Thessoloniki as a gateway to S.E.Europe for GCC based enterprises.
