It was an honor for the Deloitte Competence Center in Thessaloniki to host a bipartisan U.S. Congressional Delegation (CODEL), led by Representative Gus Bilirakis and comprising ten Members of the U.S. House of Representatives from multiple states.
This marked the first CODEL to visit Thessaloniki in nearly 20 years—and the largest congressional delegation the city has welcomed in recent memory.
Organized by the U.S. Consulate General in Thessaloniki and the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Deloitte, the visit offered an opportunity to showcase the Deloitte Competence Center, established in Thessaloniki in late 2017, and its new home—a beautifully restored 100-year-old warehouse at the city's port.
Today, more than 1,400 professionals work from this state-of-the-art facility, delivering AI solutions and digital transformation projects for clients around the world.
Deloitte's investment has helped position Thessaloniki as a destination for talent and technology, encouraging other American and international companies to establish operations in the city and contributing to a thriving innovation ecosystem.
A memorable day that put the spotlight on Thessaloniki’s future. By focusing on expanded investment and deeper technological collaboration, this visit reinforced the city’s growing role as a premier hub for innovation, world-class talent, and international business.
