Pella Development Agency
Key Competitive Attractions
Pella is a regional unit of Central Macedonia. Pella’s capital city is Edessa. Pella’s main economic sectors are tourism, services, and manufacturing. The southern part of Pella has a large concentration of orchards, and agricultural production has long been a traditional industry of the area. However, the economy has developed in recent years and tourism has become particularly prominent thanks to the international connections provided by Thessaloniki International Airport, and the recently discovered archaeological remains of ancient Edessa, underneath the modern city.
Various manufacturing firms are located in Edessa, producing goods such as rope, glass, furniture, marble, sewing machines and food and drink (including wine, cheese, fruit and olives). Proximity to the Port of Odessa facilitates export activity.
Assistance and Support For New Business Investors
The Pella Development Agency offers local area information to investors and companies seeking to start up or relocate to the area, as well as ongoing support. In collaboration with the national agencies, Pella provides support to investors and companies and can direct them to sources of finance.
