The Athens Exchange Group CEO, Mr. Socrates Lazaridis, stated during the event: "It is an honor to host Mr. Nusbaum today at the Athens Exchange. The staging of Grant Thornton's Global Annual Conference in Athens, at a time when investment opportunities in Greece are attracting interest by the entire international investor community, is a unique opportunity for its global network to familiarize themselves with the Greek Economy and its comparative advantages. It is also an excellent opportunity for exploring ways of utilizing Grant Thornton's global expertise and, in particular, its considerable experience in assisting Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) in the capital raising process in our country"
