About us
Who we are
The Greek-Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Tourism and Professional Affairs of Northern Greece was founded in March 2015 with its seat in Thessaloniki, to create the conditions for business agreements and economic development between Greece and Serbia.
It serves businesses that want to grow in Greece or in Serbia, or even in their own country, always in cooperation with Greek or Serbian companies.
Our mission
The Chamber’s main aim is to shape a new economic environment that brings new companies and new jobs to Central Macedonia and to Greece as a whole.
As the body that protects its members’ interests, the Chamber maintains close contact and ongoing cooperation with the state authorities and public services of both countries. It has built a network of cooperation with regional chambers and business associations in Greece and Serbia.
