Information Society’s Director of Projects, Mr. Dimitris Giantsis, gave a brief description of the progress and evolution of the digital projects implemented by Information Society, emphasising the following:
“Staying true to our commitments to intensify the implementation of the projects we had announced in previous years, we are really happy to be delivering many of these completed, modern and functional projects today.
Information Society is the public body that, with its experience and know-how in the implementation of ICT projects, manages to combine opinions and lead heterogeneous groups of people, i.e. all those who participate in the project, towards a common direction, marching at the right pace on the schedule of each project. Therein lies the success of the role of Information Society, as the problems in technology projects do not usually come from technology itself, but from heterogeneous multiplicity, lack of communication and central coordination. Information Society has solutions to all of these and brings added value to every project they undertake.
In 2025, we started dynamically to achieve our main objective, which is the delivery of the major digital projects/interventions that we have designed, developed and implemented with the assistance of the Ministry of Digital Governance, and we will continue at this pace.”
I am particularly happy and optimistic that the implementation of important digital transformation projects at Information Society, funded by the Recovery Fund and other financing tools, will have a transformative effect in the field of public administration, potentially leading to safer, fairer and technologically advanced societies.
Information Society currently manages more than 440 Digital Transformation projects of public bodies in various stages of maturity, with a budget of around €2.9 billion and Support Actions with a budget of almost €600 million. More than half of the funds for the above projects and support actions are funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”.
In total, Information Society has undertaken digital transformation projects for public bodies through 161 signed programme agreements worth €5.18 billion. In the next 6 months, it is expected to launch more than 30 projects with a total budget of around €90 million.
