Development Law - Regional grants map
The map of Greece for the granting of regional aid, which is valid from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2027, with provision for an interim review in 2024, has been published in the Journal of the European Union.
The regional map of Greece defines the Greek regions that are eligible for regional investment aid as well as the maximum aid intensities (maximum aid rates) in the eligible regions. The aid intensity is the maximum amount of state aid that can be granted per enterprise expressed as a percentage of the specific eligible investment costs (proposal budget).
Within the framework of the revised map, regions that cover 82.34% of the country's population may receive regional investment aid as follows:
