Greece has structured its new Hellas-Space 2.0 national space programme into seven core pillars, with a total budget of 350 million euros and the first procurement tenders expected to be launched in the final quarter of 2026.The programme framework was published by the General Secretariat for Telecommunications and Post. Funding has been secured through the Recovery and Resilience Facility, with the resources to be managed by the European Space Agency (ESA), which will conduct the tender process in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Governance.The indicative industrial cost of the seven programme pillars ranges from 257 million euros to 313 million euros.A key objective is for at least 50% of the work under each project to be carried out by Greek companies. The government aims for at least half of the technological and manufacturing value to remain within Greece’s domestic space industry, covering the development of components, systems and subsystems, satellite assembly, integration, testing and mission operations.Tender specifications will also require Greek companies to play leading roles in core systems while making investments that leave a lasting technological and industrial footprint in the country.The programme is expected to last more than 36 months, with completion targeted for the final quarter of 2029 and the option of extending implementation through 2030.According to the Ministry of Digital Governance, Hellas-Space 2.0 represents the largest national investment ever undertaken in Greece’s space sector.Very high-resolution optical satellites
