Overall Assessment
Greece remains in the lower tier of digital resilience, held back by a combination of weak public policy, a small developer ecosystem, and digital infrastructure that is still developing its sovereignty.
Sobering Reality
The website for the capital, Athens, is hosted in the US. The website for the Prime Minister relies on both Akamai and Cloudflare, two major US providers, for its web and DNS services. These dependencies limit its Public Sector Digital Resilience score to a moderate 5.18.
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.
2025 Data-Driven Analysis
The data confirms Greece's position in the lower ranks. It has a weak Public Policy score (3.75) and a very small Developer Ecosystem (0.65). Its Grassroots Adoption (5.01) and infrastructure resilience scores are also below the EU average.
Strengths
- Strategic Roadmap: The "Bible of Digital Transformation" provides a clear policy document to guide future efforts.
Weaknesses
- Developer Ecosystem: One of the smallest per-capita developer communities in the EU.
- Public Policy: The policy framework is still in its early stages and lacks mature institutional backing.
Outlook
Greece has a clear roadmap but faces a significant capacity-building challenge. Success will depend on sustained political will and significant investment in developing its domestic tech talent pool and upgrading its public digital infrastructure according to the principles of sovereignty.
