Business workshops organized by Alpha Bank took place in Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion, Crete, with the participation of over 100 people from nearly 70 companies. The informational events, which will continue from September in other parts of Greece, offer an interactive experience where participants learn about new Transaction Banking tools, with emphasis on Trade Finance and Treasury.
Simultaneously, they have the opportunity to discuss with senior Bank executives about best business practices and other issues of concern.
