  • Greece: Finmin says IT, 'e-government' a strategic priority for reforming public

    Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis on Wednesday reiterated the government's commitment to accelerating and promoting information technology throughout Greece's extensive and often sluggish public sector, while noting that the country has "lost" roughly a decade in the area compared with other EU member-states.

    Alogoskoufis, speaking during the midst of a crucial week with the tabling and expected vote on a ground-breaking amendment to unify and reform the bank sector pension system, addressed delegates during the 3rd E-Government Forum, entitled "Government of the Future", an event sponsored by the "Economist" group.

  • Greece: PIONEER PROPOSALS ON E-GOVERNMENT AT A LOCAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL

    The e-government must be developed from the bottom up, putting people first. That was one of the main conclusions of a conference organised by the CoR and the Prefecture of the Cyclades in Santorini, Greece on May 12-13, 2003.

  • Greece: PM briefed on public sector reforms strategy

    The immediate launching of a public sector special operational programme was examined here on Monday during a meeting between Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and Interior and Public Administration Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos.

    Pavlopoulos stated afterwards that the prime minister regards public sector reforms as very important, stressing that much has already been done in the sector but there is still a long way to go.

  • Greece: Public administration restructuring

    The radical restructuring of Public Administration, uprooting of the bureaucracy and intransparency that had developed over the preceding 20 years, and boosting its efficiency, were an immediate priority for the New Democracy government, which in its four years in power has proven to the citizen that "we came to change all this, placing goals and achieving measurable results," interior minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos said on Wednesday, addressing a conference of the National Council on Administrative Reform.

    The key to the success of the government's efforts was forward-looking planning, coordination of all the individual administrative structures, and implementation of e-governance by specialised staff in Public Administration and Local Government, the minister explained.

  • Greece’s ‘smart city’ by the sea taking shape

    High above the sparkling surface of the Athens coastline, the cranes for building the 50-floor luxury tower centerpiece of Greece’s future “smart city” look out over the Saronic Gulf.

    At their feet, construction machinery stirs up dust.

    Its backers say the 8 billion euro (US$8.43 billion) project financed by private funds is a symbol of Greece’s renaissance after the years of financial stagnation that saw investors flee the country.

  • How An Old Greek Airport Is Becoming A $14 Billion Tourism Project

    The largest smart city built from the ground up in Europe is well underway, but it’s not in the usual-suspect destinations like London or Paris. Instead, this fully sustainable city is just 20 minutes from the Greek capital of Athens along the Athenian Riviera coastline. Dubbed a “15-minute city,” a reference to the fact that everyone will be within 15 minutes from all corners of the development, this mixed-use development will be home to many firsts. This includes the first (and tallest) skyscraper in Greece, the largest shopping mall in the country and the biggest coastal park in Europe more than doubling the amount of green space in the capital.

  • Innovation as an antidote to the crisis: meet Greece’s ehealth ecosystem

    A few years ago, international experts reported that Greece’s healthcare system was on the brink of collapse with government health spending dropping year after year. Since 2009, Greece’s GDP has dropped 26% affecting the already high unemployment rate leading to more people without health insurance and limited access to healthcare services. The financial crisis put pressure on a healthcare system under a lot of strain and in urgent need for reform, making it vulnerable to economic fluctuation and ill prepared to meet the changing needs of society.

  • Minister of the Interior Pavlopoulos says e-government a priority for Greece

    Minister of the Interior, Public Administration and Decentralisation Prokopis Pavlopoulos said that re-establishing the state through e-government is a goal the Greek government is pursuing, albeit a complex and difficult one.

  • Pandemic, EU billions drive Greece’s digital revolution

    Before COVID-19, visits to Greece’s paper-strewn labour offices were a ordeal of queues and case files, often for basic matters that in less than a year have moved online as the pandemic upended old administrative routines.

    “Essentially overnight, two thirds of the visits were no longer necessary,” said Spiros Protopsaltis, head of OAED, the Organization of Employment and Unemployment Insurance.

  • Reding calls on Greece to create the right environment for tomorrow's broadband

    EU Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding has applauded efforts in Greece to catch up with the rest of the EU in broadband access and coverage, but called for further policy measures, principally in regulation, to guarantee Greece a place at 'the forefront of broadband innovation'.

    Greece is still way behind the EU average in terms of broadband. In January 2007, 4.4 Greeks out of every 100 were active broadband users. The EU average is 16.9%.

  • The Ellinikon takes shape — what we know so far about greece's 15-minute smart city

    Deep Diving Into The Ellinikon Development In Athens

    The Ellinikon is making headlines as one of Europe’s largest urban regeneration projects currently underway in Athens, Greece. Rooted in the principles of a ’15-minute city,’ the €8 billion masterplan is spearheaded by LAMDA Development and offers a comprehensive 360-degree experience to its residents, tenants, guests, and employees. This transformation will revive the obsolete site of the Athens International Airport, which operated from 1938 until 2001, before the Marina was developed to host the Sailing Centre for Athens’ 2004 Summer Olympics.
