Greek investors are pursuing significant growth in both the maritime and technology sectors. In the shipping industry, Greek shipowners have initiated a massive shipbuilding program, ordering over 1,000 new commercial vessels. This includes 463 tankers, which accounts for approximately 28% of all new tanker orders globally, with a focus on fuel efficiency and modern technology.

Simultaneously, Greek investors, including the country’s four systemic banks, have contributed $70 million to Endeavor Catalyst’s Fund V. This contribution represents more than 20% of the total $320 million fund. The capital is used to support high-growth companies and entrepreneurs in various markets. Notable developments in the artificial intelligence sector include participation from Endeavor Catalyst in a $200 million Series B round for Arena, which reached a $3.1 billion valuation.
