Investing in the future of Greece

Greece can grow its way out of this crisis, but growth requires vision, capability and capital. Amidst the troubling headlines and statistics, there are viable businesses that can grow with our collective investment, creating jobs and delivering solid returns for investors. And there are visionary leaders eager to build companies and indeed an economy on stronger, more sustainable foundations. THI is investing in the future by supporting two initiatives that promote near-term job growth while laying the foundations for long-term strategic development:

The Hellenic Investment Fund is an impact investment fund targeting a “double bottom line” of investment returns and job growth. The fund will provide growth equity to small and midsized companies that are the backbone of the Greek economy and whose success is critical to fueling its recovery. Many THI board members are anchor investors, but it is a standalone, for-profit fund and THI will have no management or investment authority.

ReGeneration is the newest program in the THI Economic Development constellation. It is a 6-month practical training program (internship) offering multi-faceted work experience, meaningful training from certified trainers, and multiple opportunities for self-improvement and personal development.

The Australian Internship Program will work in partnership with the ground breaking ReGeneration program in Greece to find candidates for these unique opportunities.
