In September 2026, Deputy Finance Minister Nikos Papathanasis announced a €5 billion program set to launch in late November, which includes offering near-zero interest rate loans of 0.35% to very small businesses. Following this, details emerged regarding broader subsidy opportunities available through the Development Law, ESPA, and the LEADER programs. These initiatives provide varying levels of support, with subsidy rates reaching up to 80% for sectors such as agrifood, tourism, innovation, and green or digital transitions. Specific regional and sectoral programs, such as details regarding the ‘Agrifood’ regime under Development Law 4887/2022 indicate that primary agricultural production can receive subsidies between 40% and the 60%, with amounts up to €600,000 per plan, while food and beverage processing can reach 75% support. The submission deadline for this regime is November 30, 2026. The LEADER 2023-2027 program, offer targeted funding program has activated initial calls for primary production, food processing, private investments in regions including Pella, Karditsa, Kavala, and Imathia, supporting sectors such as tourism, crafts, and local services with subsidies reaching 80%.
