Greece continues to record significant progress in digital transformation, as reflected in two leading international assessments of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission.
The new reports confirm the improvement of public digital services, the development of telecommunications infrastructures, the exploitation of cutting-edge technologies and the country's steady progress towards achieving the goals of the Digital 2030s.
According to the report "Digital Government Outlook 2026" of the OECD, Greece is among the countries with a strong performance in the digital transformation of public administration, recording a total rating of 0.71, compared to 0.70 which is the average of the countries of the Agency.
Country performance exceeds those developed economies such as Japan and Italy (0.67), Canada and the Netherlands (0.69), as well as Finland (0.70).
Greece also records better performance than OECD average in four key indicators:
User-Driven: 0.77 versus 0.71
Government as a Platform: 0.75 versus 0.71
Proactiveness: 0.70 versus 0.67
Open by Default: 0.63 versus 0.59
The exhibition highlights, among other things, the Centre for Interoperability of the Ministry of Digital Governance, gov.gr with more than 2,250 digital services, the exploitation of Artificial Intelligence in the Greek Land Register and the digital assistant "mAigov", as well as the new national portal of open data data.gov.gr.
According to the European Commission Digital Decade Report 2026Greece continues to consistently implement the national strategy of digitisation of public administration and converge firmly with the European Union.
The country responded to 83% of the European Commission's recommendations, continuing its steady progress towards achieving the objectives in 2025.
In 2025 the public digital services to citizens It reached 79.4%, while the corresponding services to businesses reached 86%, exceeding national estimates of 76.2% and 84.4% respectively.
Particularly important performance is recorded in digital infrastructure. The fifth generation (5G) network coverage now stands at 99.5% of the population, practically approaching the 100% target by 2030 and significantly exceeding the national road estimate for 2025 (90%).
Similarly, coverage in rural and island regions reaches 99%, contributing substantially to the reduction of geographical disparities.
At the same time, fibre optic networks (FTTP) and very high capacity networks (VHCN) are developing at an annual rate of 29.7%, more than five times the European average.
From almost zero coverage in 2019, Greece has reached 59.8%, surpassing the estimated course for 2025 (51%) and confirming the steady course towards universal coverage by 2030.
The European Commission's report also highlights the enhanced geostrategic role Greece as a digital hub of Southeast Europe, through investments in underwater cables, international telecommunications infrastructures and data centres.
At the same time, the implementation of national data governance policy and the new National Cybersecurity Strategy strengthen the resilience and security of the country's digital infrastructure.
Special reference is also made to: Peak technologies, with the establishment of the AI Factory "Pharos", one of the first seven AI Factories of the European Union, the participation of Greece in European initiatives on quantum infrastructure and the creation of the Hellenic Microcircuit Skills Centre.
The country's progress is also reflected in the area of digital health. According to Capgemini Invest's eHealth Indicator Study 2026, Greece noted one of the largest annual improvements in Europe, as the composite digital health index increased by 20 percentage points in one year, reaching 94%, compared to an average of 87% in the European Union.
With this performance, the country ranks among the top EU Member States in the field of digital health, surpassing countries such as Italy (90%), Spain (90%), Germany (88%), France (88%) and Sweden (86%).
Positive performances are accompanied by challenges that remain
The progress recorded in international evaluations is also accompanied by areas in which the country is invited to accelerate even further.
The Digital Decade Report 2026 points out that strengthening digital skills remains a key challenge for the coming years, as 51% of citizens aged 16-74 have at least basic digital skills, compared to 60.4% in the European Union.
At the same time, the need for further strengthening human resources in information and communication technologies and the acceleration of digital business transformation is highlighted.
The same report, however, acknowledges that Greece records higher rates of progress than the European average in critical areas such as fibre optics, public digital services, electronic identification, access to electronic health records and the adoption of advanced digital technologies, confirming that the country is steadily converging with the European Union.
