Greece has approved 928 investment projects worth a combined €3.1 billion under its development incentive law, with total state support reaching €1.5 billion and expected to secure at least 15,000 high-productivity jobs, Development Minister Takis Theodorikakos has told Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during a briefing at the Maximos Mansion.
Mr. Theodorikakos said the law has become a central financing tool for transforming Greece’s economy, with particular emphasis on manufacturing, agri-food and defense, alongside incentives supporting social entrepreneurship, border-region economic activity and traditional craftsmanship.
Manufacturing alone accounted for 429 approved projects worth over €1.2 billion, with €570 million in state support.
Regionally, Macedonia and Thrace secured 282 projects worth €954 million, with support exceeding €510 million, while Thessaly recorded 152 projects worth more than €347 million, expected to receive over €184 million in aid.
Mr. Theodorikakos said investment plan evaluations are now completed within 45 to 90 days, which he called the fastest turnaround in the European Union.
More than €337 million was disbursed in 2025 alone. Separately, authorities have recovered 191 unrealized investment projects worth €150 million under the older 2004 development law during an ongoing cleanup of legacy filings.
Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis and Secretary-General for Private Investments Stellina Siarapi also attended the meeting.
