Greece’s strategic approach to infrastructure, aimed at sustainable development, international competitiveness, and investment attraction, was at the forefront of discussions between Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Dimas and Srinivas Bommidala, Business Chairman – Energy & International Airports of India’s GMR Group. The conversation took place during the annual Capital Link Invest in Greece Forum on Monday, December 8, 2025, in New York.

Speaking at the forum, Dimas emphasized that Greece enters 2026 “stronger, more stable, and more confident than at any point in the past two decades.” He highlighted that the country’s fiscal, economic, and institutional transformation is now visible in the data and reflected in growing international investor interest. “Today, Greece stands for reliability and generates opportunities,” he remarked.

The minister outlined how Greece is leveraging favorable conditions to plan and implement the largest infrastructure program in its modern history. The initiative combines national resources, European Union funds, financing from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), and private capital through public-private partnerships (PPPs). “Our goal is modernization, enhanced connectivity, and positioning Greece as a hub for logistics and energy,” he said.

Dimas noted that a series of critical projects are underway as part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), strengthening Greece’s connectivity with the Western Balkans, Southeastern Europe, and Black Sea markets.

Among the projects highlighted were the Patra–Pyrgos Highway, the E65 Motorway, the Northern Road Axis of Crete, expansions of the Athens and Thessaloniki metro systems, the Elevated Rapid Transit Avenue in Thessaloniki, and the new Heraklion Airport.

Dimas stressed that sustainability and resilience are central priorities, particularly for critical infrastructure, ensuring the country can address climate change impacts and withstand future challenges. “Greece is no longer a story of potential. It is a story of performance,” he stated, inviting the international investment community to “be part of this next chapter.”
