Overview
While Greece scores 56% in Open Data Maturity assessment—well below the EU average of 83%—the country is rapidly advancing in several sector-specific data space initiatives. These projects show strong momentum in mobility, health, energy, public services, and tourism, even if national open data implementation remains limited.
Mobility: Smart and Green Transport
Greece is actively contributing to the MobiSpaces project, a Horizon Europe initiative developing a European mobility data space.
- Partners: University of Piraeus, CERTH/ITI, INLECOM
- Focus: Data governance for smart cities, public transport, and maritime mobility
- Use cases: Vessel tracking, traffic optimisation, and privacy-preserving analytics
Greece also participates in EMERALDS, which applies real-time urban mobility analytics.
Health: National EHR and EU Integration
The country launched its national Electronic Health Record, MyHealth, in May 2025.
- Led by: Ministry of Health, Ministry of Digital Governance, IDIKA SA
- More than 10 public hospitals and multiple primary care providers are already onboarded.
Greece also operates the Gr-HDAB, connecting 20 countries and 40+ institutions, aligning with the future European Health Data Space.
Energy: Towards a European Energy Data Space
Through the Enershare project, Greece contributes to building an EU-wide energy data space.
- Greek partners: NTUA, DEPA Commercial, DESFA
- Focus: Data sharing across electricity, gas, and smart homes
Public Services & Tourism
The national platform Gov.gr underpins 1,600+ digital public services and supports secure data exchange across 85+ public bodies.
In tourism, Greece participates in DEPLOYTOUR, with a pilot on Syros Island focusing on cultural heritage and visitor flows.
