# Greek economic investment and digital infrastructure trends > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/greek-economic-investment-and-digital-infrastructure-trends > Updated: 2026-09-13T05:10:05.000Z. Sources: 9. Developments: 2. Greece is experiencing a complex economic landscape characterized by structural investment gaps alongside significant growth in specific sectors. A study by the Center for Liberal Studies (KEFIM) noted that while the Greek capital market has raised 25.3 billion euros since 2019 and is expected to be classified as a ‘Developed Market’ integrated into the Euronext ecosystem by late September 2026, the country still faces a gap in gross fixed capital formation. Greece’s rate of 16.88% of GDP trails the EU-27 average of 21.32%, driven largely by lagging private and business investments. Despite these broader structural challenges, Greece is emerging as a major hub for digital infrastructure. The country is seeing rapid growth in data center investments, with potential inflows exceeding €5 billion over the next five years. This includes the development of a hyperscale AI data center by the Public Power Corporation (PPC) in Kozani. Major international firms such as Microsoft, Digital Realty, and Data4 have entered the market, contributing to a projected increase in commercial colocation capacity from 31 MW in 2025 to 208 MW by 2031. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-13: Greece emerges as major European data center investment hub Greece is becoming a major European data center hub, with projected investments exceeding €5 billion and a forecasted 33% annual growth rate in colocation capacity through 2031. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greece-emerges-as-major-european-data-center-investment-hub ### 2026-09-09: Greece faces investment gap despite capital market growth While Greece's gross fixed capital formation lags behind the EU average at 16.88% of GDP, its capital market has raised 25.3 billion euros since 2019 and aims for Developed Market status by late 2026. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greece-faces-investment-gap-despite-capital-market-growth --- Cite as: Greek economic investment and digital infrastructure trends.
