The attending companies will be able to conduct bilateral talks with Greek representatives at the forum, said Cemal Yazıcı, board chairman of the Keşan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, or KTSO.

The business forum will be organized under the cooperation of the Union of Hellenic Chambers of Commerce, the Union of Hellenic Entrepreneurs, the Edirne Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Greek Consulate in Edirne.

Regional cooperation and financing opportunities will also be taken up in detail, he said.
