Subsidies for websites, eshops and ERP in Greece: what closed, what's been announced and what applies now.

The programmes in this guide are Greek funding programmes, paid for by Greece and the EU, for businesses established in Greece. We give their Greek names, because that’s how they appear on the official sites and in the offers you’ll receive. Dates are day/month/year.

The programmes of recent years for small businesses are closed to new applications. Businesses that were accepted are still completing their purchases, but no new round has opened.

The Recovery Fund (Ταμείο Ανάκαμψης) is Greece’s funding from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, and ESPA (ΕΣΠΑ) is the programme through which Greece spends the EU’s structural funds.

The vouchers of the Recovery Fund programmes could be redeemed only with registered suppliers, for new products and services, and a business that had received a voucher in an earlier round couldn’t receive another.

On 23 October 2026, the Minister of Development announced three new regimes under the Development Law (Αναπτυξιακός Νόμος), Greece’s investment incentives law, worth €150 million each, for small and medium-sized businesses: one for exports, one for modern technologies with an emphasis on artificial intelligence, and one for social entrepreneurship. They are to be launched “by the end of 2026”.

The artificial intelligence regime was first announced in October 2025, and later for September 2026. As of 2 November 2026, neither a decision in the Government Gazette (ΦΕΚ) nor a guide has been published, so we don’t yet know which costs it will cover, at what rate or for whom.

Also announced, on 30 December 2025, were programmes to train employees in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and cloud, worth €70.6 million, to be run by chambers of commerce and professional bodies. They cover training, not buying software. See also AI training for teams.

• Regional ESPA programmes. Each Greek region issues its own calls. Among the open calls we saw in October 2026, none was specifically about digital transformation, but some cover software as part of a wider investment plan. It’s worth checking your region’s calls on espa.gr.
• Guaranteed loans. Banks offer loans for digital investment with a guarantee from the InvestEU programme. That isn’t a subsidy, but it can mean better terms.

Whenever a programme is announced, offers for a “free eshop with ESPA” appear before the call is even out. Before you sign or hand over any details, ask:

1. Is there a published call? With a name, a number and dates, on an official site (espa.gr, digitalsme.gov.gr, the Government Gazette). A minister’s announcement isn’t a call.
2. Are you eligible? Sector, size, region, and whether you received support in an earlier round.
3. What percentage does it cover, and which costs? 100% is rarely covered. De minimis aid also has a ceiling on all the aid you’ve received in recent years.
4. Is it first come, first served? In many programmes the budget runs out with the first applications.
5. Who pays first? Often the business pays and is reimbursed later.
6. Who is asking for your passwords? Don’t give your Taxisnet credentials (the Greek tax portal) to anyone. Whatever needs submitting, you or your accountant submit it.
7. Does it promise “100% approval”? Nobody can promise that, because the decision is taken by the body that runs the programme.

It depends on what you need and when. If your software has to connect to an e-invoicing provider before 31 January 2027, that deadline comes before any new call. The same goes for digital delivery notes from 1 January 2027.

If you’re planning something bigger, such as a new eshop or a move to Odoo, you can start with the mapping and the design, which don’t commit a large sum. If a programme opens, your proposal will be ready and well documented. Watch out for one thing only: many programmes subsidise only costs incurred after the application is submitted.

We don’t promise subsidies and we don’t file applications: that’s work for consultants and accountants. When a programme opens that covers what we build, we’ll update this guide and tell you whether we can be your supplier under it.

Until then, we can tell you exactly what your own case needs, so that you know what you’re asking for, with or without a subsidy.
