Sustainable digital societies are key in ensuring the long-term competitiveness of the EU economy. Digital solutions which focus on people and provide innovative opportunities for companies, social and democratic development are needed to secure digital and green transition of the EU. Digital transformation is the only way for healthcare systems to become more citizen-friendly while simultaneously changing their operations, culture, and use of technology. Greece’s digital transformation performance has been improved but remains well below the EU average (ranked 27 out of 28). The majority of companies surveyed (by Foundation and EIT Digital) recognize the importance of digital transformation, as 90.2% have either initiated or intend to activate a digital transformation roadmap immediately.
