The Hellenic-Thai Chamber of Commerce (HTCC) provides leadership and supports the needs of the Greek and Thai business community and facilitates its members overall cultural integration.
The HTCC accomplishes this task through multiple functions.
HTCC focuses on the opportunities available for investors in both countries, investigating sectors of potential mutual interest and cooperation. We identify and highlight to our members how such opportunities can serve to create new business or expand existing operations from one nation to the other.
NETWORKING
HTCC also shares its network contacts in both nations to the advantage of its membership. Through our established contacts and decades of on-the-ground experience, we provide facilitation in accomplishing our member’s goals. HTCC offers links to public and private organizations, people meeting people face to face for mutual understanding and better cooperation.
LOCAL SUPPORT
HTCC provides support for Greek people living, working and doing business in Thailand. A forum for Greek expats to share their social, business and cultural experiences and provide assistance to each other.
ADVOCACY
HTCC is the representative for the Greek business community in Thailand, registered and officially recognized by the Thai Government and the Thai Department of Business Development.
HTCC is the official representative for Greece to the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand, which seeks to affect public policy and trade decisions.
GOALS & PRIORITIES
HTCC’s goals and priorities are to improve the brand identity of Greece in Thailand and vice-versa, by increasing the products and services exchanged between the two countries as well as the travelers flow which will eventually lead to the re-opening of the direct flight connections between Athens and Bangkok.
