GREECE ELEVATOR AND ESCALATOR MARKET: KEY HIGHLIGHTS
1. Digital transformation initiatives by the Ministry of digital governance to be a long-term driver in the Greece elevator and escalator market.2. In July 2022, the Ministry of Digital Governance launched the second phase of Greece’s Smart cities program. This program is open to 315 municipalities across the nation. The program's second phase is funded by the European regional development fund, which was financed around USD 233 million.
