Greece

According to the Digital Decade report 2026, Greece is at 50.96% of individuals aged 16-74 with at least basic digital skills after a decrease of 1.4% annually since 2023, standing below the EU average of 60.40%. 

2026 Digital Decade Eurobarometer report for Greece reflects Greek citizens' attitudes, priorities, and concerns regarding digital rights, AI, and the EU's digital policy goals based on research conducted between February and March 2026.

Greece has made significant progress in its digital transition, notably by establishing the framework for safe and resilient use of digital technology, a new cybersecurity strategy and a framework for data governance.  

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.

More information is available in the Digital Decade 2024 report and the Greece National strategic roadmap for the Digital Decade. 

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.
