The Hellenic Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HACCI) explored the subject of the food industry and investment at an online briefing with Greek groups, highlighting opportunities for collaboration.
The briefing, held last December, was co-hosted with the Greek Exporters Association (SEVE), the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), and the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI).
The event brought together institutional leaders, exporters, and business representatives from Greece and Australia, and featured presentations from SEVE, the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Enterprise Greece, and FORUM SA.
Speakers discussed the strong performance of Greece’s food sector, export trends to Australia, and upcoming opportunities for collaboration through trade missions and major exhibitions such as Food Expo 2026.
Outgoing HACCI National Federation Chair Dr Elena Limnios stated in a press release that the “online briefing showcased the strength of Greece’s food industry and the appetite for deeper engagement from Australian businesses”.
“As I conclude my term, I am proud of the collaborative spirit between HACCI and our MOU partners in Greece, including SEVE and TCCI, and I am confident that this foundation will support even greater bilateral activity in the years ahead,” said Dr Limnios
Incoming HACCI National Federation Chair for 2026 Angela Tomazos highlighted the strategic importance of continuing this work:
“HACCI is committed to fostering meaningful commercial pathways between Greece and Australia. Today’s session reinforced the opportunities before us—from investment to trade missions to sector–specific partnerships. We look forward to continuing to work closely with our MOU partners and our national HACCI network to deliver practical outcomes for businesses across both countries.”
HACCI noted in its press release that collaborating organisations will continue discussions into early 2026, including exploring a coordinated business delegation and further joint initiatives aligned with upcoming trade and investment events.
