AI adoption and development in Thessaloniki

Overview

Thessaloniki has emerged as a leader in artificial intelligence adoption within Greece. According to the Adobe Acrobat AI City Index, the city holds a top national score of 78.30/100, driven by high search interest and significant job market activity, recording 24.93 AI-related positions per million inhabitants.

Building on this technological momentum, Deloitte has established an Artificial Intelligence solutions Hub at the Thessaloniki port. This initiative includes the creation of a Competence Center and a professional postgraduate program in collaboration with the University of Macedonia. The project has generated 400 high-specialization positions, aiming to transform the region into a digital expertise hub for Southeast Europe and support national efforts to combat brain drain.
