Background
The Managing Authority of the “Digital Transformation” Programme 2021-2027 plays a crucial role in planning, implementing, and overseeing digital projects funded under the EU’s 2021-2027 programming period. In addition to managing the new programme, the Authority is also responsible for closing digital actions from the 2014-2020 programming period, ensuring compliance with the respective Management and Control Systems.
To support this dual responsibility, our team provides specialized consulting services, assisting the Authority across a wide range of programme management, monitoring, and operational tasks.
The Challenge
Managing a large-scale EU co-financed programme presents several key challenges:
- Ensuring seamless transition from the 2014-2020 programming period to 2021-2027.
- Aligning programme planning, monitoring, and evaluation with evolving digital transformation priorities.
- Coordinating multiple stakeholders, including intermediate bodies, beneficiaries, and EU authorities.
- Ensuring compliance with Management and Control Systems, meeting EU regulatory requirements.
By strengthening programme planning, management, and monitoring, we help ensure that Greece’s digital investments deliver real impact and long-term value.

Outcomes and Impact
Through our specialized technical support, we are helping the Managing Authority of the Digital Transformation Programme 2021-2027 effectively navigate programme execution, financial oversight, and regulatory compliance. By ensuring the efficient management of digital transformation initiatives, this collaboration strengthens Greece’s digital infrastructure and innovation capacity for the future.
