<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span>Objective of the Action<\/a><\/div>

The main objective of the Action is to strengthen the country's productive base and international competitiveness in sectors with a high external orientation, through the empowerment of selected productive branches. This is a targeted intervention, aiming both to strengthen the domestic productive base in key sectors and to support and expand the export orientation of Greek businesses. By increasing local production of products with high international demand and improving export performance, the action is expected to contribute positively to the Greek economy. At the same time, it aims to enhance the coverage of domestic demand with Greek-produced products, strengthening the competitiveness of Greek products at an international level. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
