Through 251 projects with a total budget of 2.9 billion euros and in particular with the announcement of 63 projects with a budget of 1.4 billion euros in the next six to ten months, Greece is entering the path of “digital” development.
Stavros Asthenidis, managing director of the Information Society, noted that the Society’s interventions include 251 projects in various stages of maturity with a total budget of 2.9 billion euros and 16 aid actions of 1.2 billion euros, while in the next 6-10 months 63 projects, will be announced, totaling 1.4 billion euros. 55 projects and actions amounting to €2.1 billion are funded by resources from the Recovery and Resilience Fund. A big bet now is the evolution of the Information Society from a key executive arm of the Ministry of Digital Governance to a central hub for the planning, development and implementation of projects that strengthen the digital relationship of the citizen with the public administration.
It should be noted that the Information Society has signed 114 program agreements with public bodies with a budget of 4.5 billion euros.
