Why Greece
Strategic location
Located at the southeastern tip of the Balkan Peninsula – at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa – Greece has a population of 11 million, with Athens as its capital.
Growing tech workforce
The workforce includes 180,000 IT professionals, with an additional 6,500 joining each year.
Quality over quantity
While the talent pool is moderate in size, it’s exceptional in quality. The workforce is highly educated, supported by respectable universities, and the growing tech ecosystem sees €500 million in annual funding, giving local talent hands-on experience.
Cost efficiency
Greece offers significantly lower labor and living costs compared to the U.S. and more competitive than most of the EU. You’ll get the same quality as in Western Europe, but at more attractive rates. Compared to Eastern Europe or India, Greece offers higher-quality talent, but at increased cost.
Easy collaboration
As an EU member, Greece simplifies operations for European clients. Greek professionals share similar cultural values and work ethic with Western countries, like directness, honesty, and strong communication skills. All Greek IT professionals are fluent in English.
Data compliance
Greece complies with EU data protection regulations and international intellectual property standards, offering a level of reliability that many offshore options can’t guarantee.
