With 15 new front line services in the next quarter, gov.gr will be enriched, such as the renewal of the driver’s license, real estate transfers and many more. This was stressed by the Minister of Digital Government, Kyriakos Pierrakakis in the context of the 23rd Infocom world conference.
As he estimated “if we look at the digital transactions that reached 150 million in the first half of 2021 alone, we expect more than 300 million digital transactions this year”.
Speaking about the strategy of the ministry, he stressed that “at its core there were many small fast IT projects that we could do and we saw that a small addition, expansion as was done in the intangible prescription or in the vaccination, how much added value it had in the daily service of the citizen”.
As he pointed out, “448 cumulative projects are coming by 2025 as codified in the Digital Transformation Bible. Projects that we discussed 15 years ago have started to be auctioned and have contractors “.
Among other things, Mr. Pierrakakis stated that “we are good at mobile, but not fixed, and this is what creates a very big challenge for us in the future. Especially in mobile the way the auction of the spectrum was done was innovative. We also need to see what other targeted moves need to be made by the state that will contribute to the utilization of the 5G network and I am referring to the work of the Recovery Fund in the 5G corridors. As far as the stable is concerned, there is a discussion about decalcification “.
The Minister underlined that the Recovery Fund is a financial tool of a broader strategy whether it is ultrafast broadband, the cost of fiber optic branching, 5G corridors, submarine cables in specific islands, typically saying that “the state does what it has to do as much as faster to do it in the last two years. The state, for its part, will do what it has to do, it will listen to the market about what should be the best possible proposals that it will adopt, and beyond that, of course, the market will have to make the relevant investments “.
