On 8 to 9 November, the Balkan Partnership 2000 event, financed by the EU's INTERREG programme will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece. The aim of the event is to promote business co-operation between companies situated in Balkan and EU countries. The exhibition/conference is aimed at those interested in establishing contacts in the following sectors: construction, building materials, foods, drinks, pharmaceuticals and hospital supplies. Over 120 exhibitors from Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, as well as some from the EU will be in attendance. The EU's INTERREG programme aims to promote the creation and development of networks of co-operation across internal borders of the European Union, and to assist such internal border areas to overcome development problems arising from their isolation. The programme also aims to provide interconnections with wider European networks.For more information, please consult the following website: URL: http://www.gbi-seve.gr/balkan(opens in new window)
