A memorandum of cooperation was signed yesterday between Greece's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the University of Athens, and the Hellenic Investment and Foreign Trade Company (Enterprise Greece). This agreement was attended by significant figures including the Rector of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Professor Gerasimos Siassos, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Charis Theocharis. The collaboration aims to strengthen Greece's economic 'extroversion' through various educational initiatives.

The agreement outlines the creation and implementation of educational programs, seminars, and training activities that harness the scientific expertise of the University of Athens. Key components will include the development of digital courses, certification of training programs, and the joint organization of conferences and workshops focused on exports, international trade, and economic diplomacy. This initiative seeks to enhance the educational offerings available to those involved in these sectors, enabling greater participation on a global scale.

A notable emphasis will be placed on elevating and strengthening the Enterprise Greece Export Academy, which serves as a key pillar of educational training related to exports. This initiative aligns with national economic strategies to foster a more competitive landscape for Greek businesses internationally, thereby contributing to the overall growth and sustainability of the Greek economy in global markets.
