Networks & Infrastructure
Greece sits at the cross-roads of trade, energy and transport routes. SEV initiatives center on infrastructure networks and investments to further improve access and take full advantage of its geo-economic location. Public Private Partnerships can play a crucial part in improving interconnections between regional, national networks (esp. TEN-T and TEN-E) and supply chain hubs, esp. ports, accelerating investment in digital infrastructure, and facilitating the country’s decarbonization and energy transition through sustainable reforms in the energy market.

SEV supports energy efficiency and cost reduction in line with SDGs and the EU strategy towards a clean economy and society.
- Transportation: Upgrading road, rail, air, sea and multimodal transport networks will not only improve connections between national B2B and B2C sites, thus enhancing local basics for doing business, but will also highlight the country’s potential as an attractive investment destination in strategic sectors, such as the maritime industry and logistics.
- Telecommunication networks: Rapid deployment of fiber optic broadband networks and 5G wireless networks across the country will expedite digital transition, in line with EU priorities, and create new opportunities for synergies and innovation, while at the same time strengthen digital capacities and trust, as well as security and data protection.
