Panel conversation – The Greek Competitiveness Story – part 4 Building the Innovation Economy

Greece is working to advance its economy and make it more knowledge intensive. The government has invested in digitalizing the public administration and has taken measures to promote entrepreneurship, accelerate research translation, drive innovation, and boost long-term growth.

This session will review the priorities and initiatives to accelerate the economic transition and advance the innovation economy in the Country.
