Greece scores 3.48, with bottom-quartile scores on three of four pillars. Sovereign browser share (18.10%) is the one bright spot — well above EU27 mean. Public-sector hosting is mid-range; everything else lags.

Strengths

  • Strong sovereign browser share — 18.10% Firefox + Opera, top tier.

Weaknesses

  • Lowest per-capita developer density tier — 1.76, near the bottom of the EU27.
  • Low private-sector hosting — .gr raw rating 0.40, bottom quartile.
  • Linux desktop share of 3.13% — below the EU27 mean.

Outlook

Greece's score reflects a small IT sector and limited domestic hosting infrastructure. The unusually strong sovereign browser adoption is a curious bright spot — possibly a side-effect of mass installed-base Linux/Android phones.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, Greece was a "laggard," hampered by low digitalization. It had a nascent capacity for OSS through an e-governance law and a partnership with its national OSS foundation.

2024 progression

OSS promotion has grown, driven by the Ministry of Digital Governance's "Bible of Digital Transformation 2020-2025." The Open Technologies Alliance (GFOSS) remains a key strategic player, and a new agreement with the University of Athens aims to boost OSS education.
