Athens, October 30 – The Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry (EBEA) will host a business networking event on November 19, 2025, bringing together Greek and Turkish representatives from the automotive industry. The Greek-Turkish Automotive Company Mission will be held at the Wyndham Grand Athens hotel.
Collaboration with Turkish automotive export association
EBEA is organizing the event with the Praxi Network and in cooperation with the OiB Automotive Turkish Association, which acts as Turkey’s official export body for the automotive sector. This collaboration aims to strengthen business ties between the two countries’ automotive industries and open up new opportunities for commercial partnerships.
The event will focus on face-to-face business meetings at the hotel, allowing participants to hold direct discussions on potential collaborations, trade opportunities, and industry developments.

EBEA has invited members interested in participating to contact either the Praxi Network or the Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry directly for more information and help with the registration process.
Growing economic ties between Greece and Turkey
The automotive event comes amid growing economic engagement between Greece and Turkey across various industries. The automotive industry is a significant part of Turkey’s export economy, and Greek businesses have shown rising interest in sourcing components and forming partnerships with Turkish manufacturers.
Industry data indicate that Turkey’s automotive sector is among the country’s largest industrial branches, with substantial capacity in both vehicle manufacturing and automotive components. The sector has been actively working to expand its export markets and build stronger ties with European partners.
Strategic importance of automotive sector cooperation
The Greek-Turkish Automotive Company Mission reflects wider efforts to improve bilateral trade relations through sector-specific initiatives. Business-to-business meetings like these provide a structured setting for companies to explore concrete opportunities for collaboration, including supply chain partnerships, technology transfer, and joint ventures.
For Greek companies, the event provides access to Turkey’s developed automotive manufacturing base and competitive production costs. Turkish participants, meanwhile, gain opportunities to connect with Greek businesses that can act as gateways to broader European markets.
