Is Greece’s legal framework ready for the next wave of Global Mobility?

Is Greece’s legal framework ready for the next wave of Global Mobility?

Tourism, international investments and Global Mobility were the “stars” of the Invest in Greece Summit 2026 at the Megaron the Athens Concert Hall.

Our Senior Associate, Ilias Betzios, key member of our Global Mobility Department, joined the General Secretary of Tourism Policy and Development, 𝗩𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗞𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗸𝗼𝘂, and moderator Chara Zerva to dive into a critical shift: How Greece is evolving from a tourist destination into a global investment hub and the role of legal frameworks in facilitating international investment and the attraction of the necessary workforce within the Greek tourism sector.

Key takeaways from the panel:

𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲: The focus is shifting toward attracting the necessary skilled workforce to support the booming investments in tourism sector.
𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Facilitating international investment requires a framework that balances compliance with market speed.
𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀-𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆: Global mobility is no longer an “extra”— is the backbone of sustainable investment in 2026.

At Koutalidis Law Firm, we don’t just navigate laws; we build the bridges that allow global talent and capital to land safely in Greece.

Thank you to the organizers for a stellar event. Let’s keep the momentum going.
