The "Competitiveness" Program (ESPA 2021-2027), with a budget of 3.9 billion euros, supports thousands of Greek businesses and creates the conditions for a stronger and more productive Greek economy. In particular, significant opportunities are offered to new and existing small and medium enterprises, while supporting the extroversion towards international markets. Through the Actions of the Program, new competitive businesses are established, while many existing ones significantly improve their production equipment and invest in energy saving, as well as in the adoption of new technologies. In addition, Actions are activated in order for companies to upgrade the skills of their employees and develop their human resources.
