Supporting three decades of global Hellenic cooperation

GPA Investment Group, together with Generation Y – International e-Business Hub , served as an official sponsor of the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the World Hellenic Inter-Parliamentary Association (PADEE-WHIA) .

The anniversary marked three decades of PADEE-WHIA’s work connecting legislators of Hellenic origin across the world and creating an international platform for dialogue, collaboration and stronger relationships between Greece, the global Hellenic community and public institutions.

Through its international network, PADEE-WHIA brings together elected legislators and public figures with Hellenic heritage, strengthening relationships across national borders while maintaining a shared connection with Greece and the wider Hellenic world.

A network extending across six continents

The anniversary celebration brought together legislators and public figures from an international network spanning more than twenty countries across six continents.

Participants represented a geographically diverse community that includes the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Israel and Armenia, among other countries around the world.

This international reach demonstrates the role that cross-border networks can play in maintaining relationships between Greece and Hellenic communities internationally, while creating channels for institutional dialogue and long-term cooperation.

Where public leadership, entrepreneurship and civil society meet

GPA Investment Group’s support of PADEE-WHIA reflects a broader view of how sustainable international partnerships are created.

Economic and business relationships do not develop in isolation. They are strengthened through connections between entrepreneurship, public leadership, institutions and civil society — each contributing a different perspective to the development of resilient international ecosystems.

This approach is also visible across the wider GPA ecosystem. Under the strategic leadership represented by Anastasios Spanidis , GPA Investment Group brings together companies, expertise and partnerships around a shared philosophy of long-term value creation and international collaboration.

The participation of Generation Y – International e-Business Hub as a co-sponsor further reflects the role of GPA’s business ecosystem in connecting entrepreneurship, technology and international networks.

Building international relationships for the long term

As an international business ecosystem, GPA Investment Group operates with a long-term perspective on relationships, partnerships and value creation.

Supporting PADEE-WHIA’s 30th Anniversary reflects this philosophy by contributing to an organization that has spent three decades developing international relationships among people connected by Hellenic heritage but operating across different countries, institutions and economic environments.

These connections can contribute to stronger dialogue, wider international networks and new opportunities for cooperation between business, public institutions and communities around the world.
