THE ATHENS CHAMBER OF TRADESMEN PROMOTES “ELECTRONIC COMMERCE FOR EVERYONE” Another action by the largest chamber in the country, which remains at the forefront of actions for enhancing entrepreneurship. With eyes turned to the challenges of the new digital era, the Athens Chamber of Tradesmen opens up new avenues, giving its members the opportunity to create a free e-shop. This is the launch of the “Electronic Commerce for Everyone” project, with the chamber supporting its members through the creation of one thousand (1000) e-shops. At the same time, it will also be offering its members the necessary training so that their e-shops have solid foundations. This will include training on the avoidance of common errors, on digital marketing, and on everything else needed so that they can successfully move on to e-commerce and its comparative advantages. This is a decisive step towards the future and the Athens Chamber of Tradesmen is taking the lead by actively supporting entrepreneurship. The pandemic has highlighted the advantages of E-Commerce, with global online sales currently approaching $35 trillion. The relevant study carried out by the Athens Chamber of Tradesmen also shows that businesses must prioritize their adaptation to new circumstances and their transition to the digital age, with the aim of enhancing their competitiveness. On the new initiative of the Athens Chamber of Tradesmen, its President Mr. Ioannis Chatzitheodosiou pointed out: “Following our Chamber’s digital upgrade, allowing us to provide faster and better quality services to our members, we are now promoting E-Commerce, enabling interested members to create their own free e-shop. This is something required by modern business operations, as it facilitates commercial transactions amid a global pandemic and allows Greek SMEs to grow. We are moving forward by offering entrepreneurs and professionals the ability to develop and grow, with a view towards the economic recovery of Greece”.
