Global Corporate Partners Program
Supporting Greece’s entrepreneurialism and economic development

Since its founding in 2012, The Hellenic Initiative (THI) has provided over $16 million to Greece, 60% of which has been committed to Greece’s entrepreneurial and economic development. In 2020, we launched the Global Corporate Partners Program to create a circle of like-minded corporations who share this commitment to support the entrepreneurial drive and economic vision of the Greek people and believe in the potential of the Greek market to recover and remake itself.
In 2020, the Global Corporate Partners Program helped fund:
