The Hellenic-Eurasian Commercial Council fosters constructive engagement between Greek enterprises and partners across Eurasia and likewise supports Eurasian companies in developing lasting collaborations with Greek counterparts, through trade, dialogue, and enduring professional relationships.

Our story

Why the Hellenic-Eurasian Commercial Council Exists

Greece and the nations of Eurasia share centuries of connection through trade, culture and the Greek communities that have long lived across the region. Yet the business relationship between them has not kept pace with that history or with the opportunities in front of us today.

Eurasian companies and investors are looking for a reliable gateway into the European Union and the Mediterranean. Greek businesses are looking for new markets, partners and capital beyond their traditional horizons. Too often, both sides face the same obstacles: unfamiliar legal and tax frameworks, limited trusted contacts, and no single place to start.

The Hellenic-Eurasian Commercial Council was founded in 2026 to close that gap.

As a private non-profit, independent organisation, HECC brings together business leaders, investors, advisors and institutions committed to building lasting commercial ties between Greece and Eurasia, in both directions. We exist to:

  • Open doors by connecting members with the right partners, institutions and decision-makers in each market.
  • Build trust through a curated network where introductions are made with care and credibility.
  • Reduce complexity by offering guidance on investment, legal, tax and regulatory matters across jurisdictions.
  • Promote opportunity in sectors such as energy, logistics, tourism, real estate, finance and technology.
  • Strengthen economic diplomacy by working alongside chambers of commerce, investment agencies and diplomatic missions.

We believe that the strongest partnerships are built on personal relationships, mutual understanding and long-term commitment. HECC exists to make those partnerships possible.
