Events of major importance for the nation coincided with the beginning of CCI: the Asia Minor catastrophe, the immigration and settlement of refugees, wars, the Great Depression. The constant presence of the CCI in decision making constitutes a great service to the National Economy and the preservation of the fabric of our society. In 1930, Eleftherios Venizelos inaugurates the neo-classical building where the Chamber is housed. In 1960, the Chamber concentrates its activity in the area of economic contracts with other countries, organizing trade missions, meetings and conferences attended by key people of the area. Today, the CCI has 20 thousand active members (registered) which with their dynamic business presence have ensured the 50% of Greek exports for Thessaloniki and the greater region. It is an active member of the Eurochamber."@eng . "Αρχείο του Εμπορικού και Βιομηχανικού Επιμελητηρίου Θεσσαλονίκης"@eng . .
