Greece Digital Decade 2026 Report: progress and gaps

The European Commission has published the ‘Digital Decade Short Country Report 2026’ annex for Greece, assessing progress on digital infrastructure, skills, AI and investment measures.

• Main announcement/action: The Commission presents a country report for Greece identifying progress and remaining gaps, noting EUR 7.8 billion (22% of Greece’s RRF) allocated to digital, EUR 3.1 billion under cohesion policy for digital measures, and the formal establishment of the AI Factory ‘Pharos’ (2025). The report summarises national targets, trajectories and the total public budget linked to measures of EUR 3.69 billion.
• Background and other details: The annex documents the adoption of a new national data governance framework, a national cybersecurity strategy, participation in multi-country initiatives (e.g., IMPACTS-EDIC, EuroHPC, Chips JU, IPCEI-ME/CT), mentions an EIB investment in a gallium production facility, and flags persistent issues: low SME digital uptake, stagnating ICT specialists (2.5%), and regional disparities in fibre coverage.
