On June 30, the elections are held for the new Board of Directors of the Hellenic-American Chamber of Commerce.

At a time when geopolitical uncertainty, technology developments, energy transitions and challenges of green growth are shaping a new economic landscape, the Hellenic-American Chamber is called upon to continue to play a key role in supporting Greek businesses.
