Having gone through a ten-year economic crisis and a two-year health crisis, Greece finds itself before critical challenges, which are not just economic, but also closely related to several other factors such as climate change, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, price volatility and, in general, the need of constant and quick adaptation to unpredictable events within an international environment. At the core of the Greek national development policy is the strengthening of productivity, competitiveness, entrepreneurship, extroversion, research and innovation with the aims of improvement of the national income and of sustainable development while respecting the environment.
