Secure, resilient, performant and sustainable digital infrastructures


The measures and policies implemented and planned for the coming period aim to substantially upgrade the country's digital public infrastructure, with key actions such as Ultrafast Broadband (UFBB) for the deployment of ultra-high-speed networks in areas without next-generation access, WiFi4GR for the deployment of thousands of wireless access points in public places, the Smart Readiness program for the digital upgrade of buildings, and the Gigabit Voucher Scheme which supports households and SMEs to acquire gigabit connections. At the same time, there is an emphasis on securely connecting public sector users and enhancing interoperability, while horizontal upgrade programs further strengthen connectivity and digital service across the country.

Challenges and Prospects in the Digital Development of Greece

Low speeds and weak internet connectivity compared to the EU.

Difficult geomorphology and sparsely populated areas increase investment costs.

Lack of quantum computing infrastructure before 2022.

Lack of quantum computing infrastructure before 2022.

Absence of a dynamic semiconductor technology ecosystem.

Limited private sector awareness and investment.


Goal 1

All end users are covered by high-speed next-generation Gigabit and wireless networks with performance at least equivalent to 5G

  • All end users at a fixed location are covered by a gigabit network (fixed Very High-Capacity Networks -VHCN) up to the network termination point/Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) coverage

  • All populated areas covered by at least one 5G network regardless of the spectrum band used

Goal 2

Production for environmental sustainability, with cutting-edge semiconductors in the EU worth at least 20% of global production

  • Value generated, in terms of revenues, by semiconductor activities in all stages of the value chain, with respect to the global market value

Goal 3

Development of 10,000 climate-neutral, highly secure 'edge nodes' guaranteeing access to low-latency data services

  • 95 compute nodes providing latencies below 20 milliseconds

Goal 4

Acquisition of the first quantum computer, paving the way for the Union to be at the forefront of quantum capabilities by 2030

  • Number of unique Union quantum computing hardware systems/services; and use of a widely adopted quantum volume benchmark for the largest quantum computing capacity; and number of quantum algorithms and use cases created with clear impact orientation in basic science, applied science, industries, and the public sector
