Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
In a country where small businesses dominate the economic landscape, Greek SMEs face increasing pressure to modernize in the aftermath of an economic storm. How will they meet the challenge?
Greek Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the nation’s economy, representing over 99% of all businesses—slightly above the EU average. Of these, micro-enterprises, typically employing fewer than 10 people, account for around 96-97%, driving both employment and local economic activity. However, these businesses are not without their challenges. The last decade, marked by prolonged economic crises and the COVID-19 pandemic, has left many SMEs struggling with reduced demand, ach shortage, and structural inefficiencies.
