A vote of confidence: US investments in Greece and the tech sector
Greek-US ties are at an all-time high, and those reading the headlines will surely be aware of the strong defense ties between the two countries. While US-Greek defense ties are crucial, American investments are also a significant part of this equation. Over the last years major US companies - including a number of giants in the tech sector - have given Greece a vote of confidence, boosting innovation and helping Greece as it looks to transform and digitize its economy. Dr. George Tzogopoulos joins Thanos Davelis to break down how the excellent status of Greek-American relations is also reflected in the economic sphere, and look at how the US-Greece cooperation in tech - through key investments by major US tech giants in the country - can unleash innovation in Greece and the region.
Dr. George Tzogopoulos is a lecturer at the European Institute of Nice (CIFE), and senior fellow at the Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) and at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Ramat Gan, Israel.
