Now speaking: Fotis GIOFTSIOS, CEO & Vice President, Ten Brinke Greece. Mr. Gioftsios discusses the promising trajectory of equity investment in Greece, emphasizing that the market is poised for growth. He highlights the current positive investment momentum, noting that this is not a bubble but a sustained development course. The focus is on attracting necessary investments to ensure future value and goodwill. He mentions the "spring effect," underscoring the long-term maintenance of Greece's positive real estate image through serious and strategic actions. A key challenge identified is the shortage of technical expertise and manpower to meet property development timelines. Ten Brinke Hellas is making strategic investments in southern Greece, exploring opportunities across all industries nationwide. The group consists of 170 specialists supporting future projects, with significant interest from hotel chains looking to expand in Greece. Mr. Gioftsios stresses that development in Greece not only generates opportunities in real estate but also stimulates growth in related industries. #AthensRivieraSummit2024 #AthensRivieraForum

Unlocking regional potential can be crucial to drive Europe’s long-term #competitiveness and industrial modernisation.   Fragmentation is one of the biggest challenges Europe faces in maintaining its competitive edge.    🔑 To succeed, Europe needs a unified approach—one that harnesses the strengths and potential of all its regions, preparing them to be fit for the future. Regions like South-East and North-East #Romania, Andalucía #Spain, Małopolskie #Poland, Dél-Alföld #Hungary and Sicilia #Italy to name a few...   This #EURegionsWeek is the ideal time🔔 to talk about how to unlock regional potential...   🔗Our four key reasons why a unified approach is essential 👉 https://lnkd.in/dscG4Pzp #IndustrialPolicy European Committee of the Regions

Presentation of regional good practices and information exchange play an essential role in the projects of the Interreg Europe funding program. The Regional Council of Kainuu is involved in the CHERRY project, which develops the role of culture in regional development. In January-February, the project has gathered regional practices from culture and creative fields related to three themes: 1) local development, 2) valorization of cultural and natural heritage, and 3) urban development. The practices of different regions have been discussed at meetings of transnational working groups. From Kainuu, Minna Komulainen and Elina Keränen presented practices related to cultural and natural heritage: Kainuu’s built heritage and cultural environment program, the Singing Heritage Route, and war museums (Raatteen portti and Kuhmo winter war museum). The 9 CHERRY partner areas are different, and they are mainly united by a rich and unique cultural heritage. From Kainuu’s point of view, it is interesting to follow the development activities of the other areas. For example, the support for Italy’s creative industries or the maintenance of UNESCO sites, as well as Belgium’s artistic environmental interventions as part of the regional political discussion, are of interest. We will hear more about other areas when good practices will be compared in more detail. Next up at the end of February is a peer learning trip to Leiedal, Belgium, where the theme is urbanization, digitalization and the green transition in terms of culture and creative industries. #CHERRY #Interreg #InterregEUROPE
