The Association of Information Technology Companies of Northern Greece (SEPVE) is a private non-profit organization and is based in Thessaloniki. From its foundation on April of 1994 until the present day it has been the only collective body representing the interests and concerns of the information technology businesses active in Northern Greece. Today, SEPVE proudly numbers more than 250 member enterprises. Its goal is to promote, through specific initiatives and projects, an enhanced status for the regional ICT businesses, thus making a positive contribution to Greece’s advance into the Information Society. For that reason, over the past 17 years the Association has been organizing a significant number of events, training seminars, conferences and forums, while taking part in an even larger number of such events organized by other associations and agencies. SEPVE also creates the necessary framework for contact, communication and collaboration of its members between each other, the public sector and other business sectors. Finally, through its focus on organizing business delegations to countries in South Eastern Europe and on participating in various EU projects, SEPVE provides its members the opportunity to enter into valuable commercial agreements and to stay abreast of developments in information technology beyond our national frontiers.
