OVER ONE BILLION EUROS (1.000.000.000€) IN BIDS FROM THE GREEK GOVERNMENT, IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHINESE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES

We would like to inform you about some projects in the Construction sector and the Port sector, announced by the Greek Government. In our opinion there are significant opportunities for Chinese companies to invest in Greece.

BELT AND ROAD ASSOCIATES is the ideal partner for Chinese companies because it has been working with Chinese companies for years and knows how to help them enter the Greek market. Recently one of the projects we promoted to a major Chinese company was included in the 6 priority projects signed by the Government of China with the Government of Greece before the President of China Mr. Xi Jinping.
