Culture and heritage go hand in hand with our DNA, so the traditional events such as the HRCC Gala Event (with the vasilopita sweet ceremony) and the celebration of the National Day of Greece are integrated part of our core business.
This year, the HRCC GALA, took place on February 15th at the marvelous Bragadiru Palace and it was an outstanding event, bringing together more than 250 Greek and Romanian members and friends.
The evening was dedicated to awarding important Greek and Romanian companies and businessmen that throughout their career created business models of success.
Worth mentioning: Vista Bank, One United Properties, K-Box, Black Sea Suppliers, ND Medhealth and the cultural award to Ms. Danae Stambouli, Scientific Director, CytoGenomic.
Close to history and to the anniversary of the NATIONAL DAY OF GREECE, 203 years of independence, the Hellenic Romanian Bilateral Chamber of Commerce, together with the Hellenic Union, was close to the Embassy of Greece in the organization of the celebration that took place on March 25th, at the Romanian Athenaeum, with more than 750 invitees and an amazing musical program performed by the Ano Poli Thessaloniki orchestra.
As a Chamber of Commerce, we keep promises to our members and, as wisely said by the Greek philosopher Aristotelis, we believe in unity as GROWTH IS NEVER BY MERE CHANCE; IT IS THE RESULT OF FORCES WORKING TOGETHER.
Anamaria Diaconescu,
HRCC Director
