BayFOR on a delegation trip to Greece and Cyprus

From 24 to 27 February 2025, the German-Greek Chamber of Commerce (AHK) and SBS systems for business solutions GmbH are organising a delegation trip to Greece and Cyprus on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. The aim is to present an exhibition specially designed for German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It offers the opportunity to explore the local market, make valuable contacts and develop new business areas. Also taking part: BayFOR, which advises companies on EU funding opportunities for projects in e-mobility, sustainable mobility and smart urban development projects under Horizon Europe.

Greece and Cyprus: markets with potential

The energy transition is a high priority in Greece and Cyprus. There is a lot of catching up to do, especially in the areas of e-mobility and modern transport concepts - and thus ideal opportunities for German companies, which are leaders in these sectors. German technology enjoys an excellent reputation in the region. Now, when many solutions are still in their infancy, German suppliers can demonstrate their expertise and innovative strength.

Programme highlights

  • The delegation trip combines theory, practice and networking:
  • Expert symposium: German companies present their products and services to local decision-makers. Greek and Cypriot experts provide information on market opportunities, trends and funding possibilities.
  • Site and company visits: Insights into relevant projects and companies in Northern Greece and Cyprus.
  • Networking event in Cyprus: Interact with industry representatives and potential clients. Panel discussion on challenges and solutions for sustainable urban development.
  • BayFOR Advice: Assistance in identifying EU funding programmes for mobility and urban planning in Horizon Europe.

One of the highlights of the delegation trip will be the Innovation Conference "Mobility Solutions Made in Germany" on Tuesday, 25 February at the Grand Hotel Palace in Thessaloniki. From 9:30 to 16:00, German companies from the mobility and sustainable urban planning sectors will present their pioneering technologies and solutions.

The conference will focus on concepts that make cities and companies future-proof: from pioneering achievements in e-mobility and intelligent data analysis to comprehensive infrastructure approaches. Each company is contributing to the creation of intelligent living spaces that meet the demands of a modern, sustainable world - vibrant, connected and future-ready.

Another special highlight is the presentation of the EU project 'Creating NEBourhoods Together', supported by BayFOR. The project takes up the vision of the New European Bauhaus and develops strategies for sustainable urban regeneration. BayFOR provided technical and administrative advice to the consortium during the application phase and is now a partner in project management and communication with stakeholders.

Experts from Germany, Greece and Cyprus will attend the event. Their contributions will not only shed light on the innovative strength of the German market, but also on current developments and perspectives in the fields of mobility and sustainable urban planning in Greece and Cyprus.

You can register until 25 February 2025 here (only German or Greek).
