Growthfund Conference at the 86th Thessaloniki International Fair – Monday, September 12 2022
For a second year in a row, Growthfund is hosting a conference in the context of the 86th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), aiming to highlight not only its group-wide strategy regarding real estate development, but also its contribution to the country’s economic and regional development through the sectors of Real Estate, Infrastructure and Logistics.
In particular, this year’s conference will take place on Monday, September 12, 11.00 – 14.00, Emilios Riadis Hall at the TIF HELEXPO Congress Center. The conference will be open to public and also live-streamed.
The conference will be attended by representatives from Growthfund and its subsidiaries, as well as by executives from the business and scientific community. It has been entitled: “Creating new opportunities for sustainable and regional development in the country: the development strategy of the Superfund and its companies in Real Estate, Infrastructure and Logistics”. This multidimensional issue will be approached in the light of the integrated development strategy of Growthfund and its subsidiaries, which has already been illustrated in detail in the Strategic Plan 2022 – 2024. The plan describes the goals and key initiatives through which the country’s National Investment Fund – in collaboration with the subsidiaries’ management teams – seeks to bolster actions towards the development of public assets in the sectors of Real Estate, Infrastructure and Logistics.
During the conference, there will be a discussion regarding the dynamics of the Greek real estate and its development strategies, the key projects under implementation, and the challenges rising in the development of public real estate. Regarding the logistics sector, a discussion will be held on the overall strategy related to the disposal of real estate assets for the construction of freight stations, as well as on the relative market demand. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the modernization of infrastructure in a targeted pattern and through the attraction of capital.
