Now, utility company DEH Greece, as its CEO Georgios Stassis explains, has a plan to turn the region into a powerhouse for the information era. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.
