healthcare, and renewable energy. We look forward, through the second edition of Investopia Global -

Mediterranean, which will be held in Greece next year, to enhancing connectivity between business
communities and these future sectors, and creating new investment partnerships at both the
governmental and private levels, in line with the latest global trends.”
