Abu Dhabi Chamber signs Athens agreements for Greek market access
Two agreements connect UAE businesses to Enterprise Greece and 140,000 registered Greek companies through ACCI.
Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry signed two agreements in Athens on 26 October 2026 with Enterprise Greece and the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry, establishing channels for UAE businesses to access Greek market intelligence and commercial networks. The agreements were signed at the UAE–Greece Business Forum.
Enterprise Greece agreement for investment intelligence#
Under the memorandum of understanding with Enterprise Greece, an agency operating under Greece's Ministry of Foreign Affairs that handles investment and trade promotion for the Greek state, the two organizations will exchange information on trade and investment opportunities. The agency's mandate covers attracting foreign capital into Greece, supporting Greek export activity and providing guidance to investors on the country's regulatory and business environment. The agreement provides Abu Dhabi businesses with access to investment intelligence and regulatory guidance for entering the Greek market.
Athens Chamber access to 140,000 registered companies#
The cooperation agreement with ACCI establishes mechanisms for direct business-to-business connections, sharing of market intelligence and organization of bilateral meetings between enterprises. ACCI represents a network of more than 140,000 registered companies in Greece, offering a platform for commercial partnerships. The agreement creates direct channels between UAE businesses and this network of Greek enterprises across sectors. Dr. Ali bin Harmal Al Dhaheri, First Vice Chairman of Abu Dhabi Chamber, stated the partnerships strengthen Abu Dhabi's connections with two influential economic institutions in Greece, giving the business community access to wider networks, reliable investment intelligence and direct channels to potential partners.
Bilateral trade and investment context#
Bilateral non-oil trade between the UAE and Greece reached approximately $606 million in 2025. A €4 billion investment cooperation framework was announced in 2022.
