Digital transformation, entrepreneurship, the development of modern skills, but also the financing that makes the new green and digital era a reality dominated the discussions at the 2nd Digital Beach Summit held on the largest beach in Europe, Monolithi, in Preveza.
Leonidas Christopoulos, general secretary of Digital Governance and Simplification of Procedures, referred to the importance of the digital transformation in local administration, while the general secretary of Public Investments and NSRF, Dimitris Skalkos, underlined the great responsibility of the state for the absorption of all open programmes for digital transformation.
Skalkos spoke of the financial tools that will lead to the digital transition, such as the Recovery and Resilience Fund and the new NSRF. In fact, he stated that the new Recovery Fund will increase Greece’s GDP by 7% until 2026.
The head of the Projects and Programs Support Directorate, Special Coordination Service of the Recovery and Resilience Fund, Dimitris Voivontas, stressed the importance of the Recovery and Resilience Fund.
In a discussion with the general director of the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA), Emilios Perdikaris, he said that the Recovery Fund is the response to the consequences of Covid with funds amounting to 31 billion euros for Greece and the “mobilization” of investments amounting to 60 billion euros by 2025.
Already, as he said, the fund has “unfrozen” investments of 10 billion euros for Greece, while actions are expected to run faster in the next period.
