To date, over 3,500 applications have been submitted, and dozens of business proposals are currently under evaluation.
Successful applicants will receive a 12-month grant totaling 17,000 euros, disbursed in three installments:
- 1st installment (4,600 euros): Upon commencement of business activity.
- 2nd installment (6,200 euros): After the first six months of operations (H1).
- 3rd installment (6,200 euros): After the second six month period of operations (H2).
How to Apply
Applicants must submit their proposals and business plans through the Integrated State Aid Information System (OPSKE) of the National Economy and Finance Ministry. Eligibility is limited to Greek and EU citizens or individuals with work permits.
