Greece is dynamically entering the field of space telecommunications, recognizing the role that satellite technologies play in ensuring national sovereignty and social cohesion. The government has drafted a new National Space Policy Framework, which lays the foundations for the development of domestic communication systems and the utilization of space for the benefit of the country. The initiative includes the creation of a National Space Telecommunications Center, which will coordinate all actions related to the use of satellite networks at the political, military, and research levels. Through this infrastructure, better coordination between Ministries, Armed Forces, and universities will be achieved, while data security and operational autonomy will be promoted.
Particular importance is given to cooperation with private entities. The government encourages Greek companies to invest in innovative solutions in the field of telecommunications satellites, robotics, and applications based on the analysis of space data. Through public-private partnerships (PPPs), new opportunities for research, development, and technology exports are created. Satellite communications are now a critical factor for civil protection and crisis management. The new framework provides for the use of satellites to monitor natural phenomena, support rescue operations, and communicate in cases of disasters where terrestrial infrastructures may collapse.
