1. Massive EU Funding Momentum
Greece is deploying €36 billion from the EU Recovery and Resilience Fund (Greece 2.0), much of it toward digital infrastructure, mobility modernization, and smart cities — exactly the niche Australian tech fills.

2. Untapped Urban Market
Greek cities like Athens, Thessaloniki, and Patras face parking congestion, enforcement inefficiencies, and tourism-driven demand peaks, but lack cohesive smart-parking ecosystems. This creates a “first-mover advantage” for proven Australian solutions.

3. Strategic Gateway to Europe
Greece offers a cost-efficient, regulatory-aligned entry point to the EU market — English-friendly, euro-denominated, and actively courting international innovation partnerships. A Greek foothold opens access to neighboring Balkan and Mediterranean cities modernizing under EU mandates.

4. Policy and Public Appetite
With the government pushing digital transformation and municipalities open to PPPs, Aussie smart city franchises can plug directly into public-sector modernization programs, supported by EU co-funding.
