About
The Chambers Group for the Development of Greek Isles (C.G.D.G.I. or otherwise in Greek and henceforth named, E.O.A.E.N.) is a civil non-profit association founded by the Chambers of Commerce of the Greek islands, on August 1,1994. Founded, so that together, the Greek Isles could tackle the negative economic, social and cultural impacts of geographical insularity and it’s effect on inhabitants of island regions.
The mission of business—the economic engine of society—is to revitalize the waning economy. Organized by Chambers of Commerce, the members of E.O.A.E.N., are working to achieve economic and social cohesion between the islands and mainland.
