The share of female specialists in 2024 was 16.0%. Greece continues its steady progress in rolling out fibre for gigabit connectivity. However, it struggles to fill the gap of ICT specialists and to address a severe digital gap in basic digital skills. Despite this, the country’s displays an encouraging growth rate in the digitalisation of SMEs. 

Greece has a National coalition for digital skills. The competence for the organisation and the Coalition's functioning at national, European and international level, is coordinated by the Ministry of Digital Governance.

The Digital Transformation Bible outlines Greece's digital transformation priorities for 2020-2025. It focuses on connectivity, digital skills, digital state, digital business, digital innovation, and integrating digital technology in all sectors of the economy. The Digital Transformation Program (PPsiMet) for 2021-2027, financed by ERDF and EKT+, contributes to the economic transformation of Greece through the development of digital services, connectivity, and digital skills.  

Greece's recovery and resilience plan supports the digital transition with investments in 5G networks, digital transformation of the public sector, digitalization of businesses, and digital upskilling in education and health. The plan also supports the digital transformation of SMEs through a voucher scheme and advisory support.  

 To promote digitalization in education, vouchers were provided to low-income students and teachers for the purchase of IT devices. Training programs aim to train an additional 150,000 private sector employees in digital, environmental, and financial literacy.
