The Cybersecurity Skills Coalition European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (CSC-EDIC), announced recently in Brussels, will be headquartered in Athens, with Greece, Cyprus, Austria, Croatia, and Slovenia serving as its founding members.

The CSC-EDIC will play a central role in implementing the EU Cybersecurity Skills Academy, helping to expand the adoption of ENISA's European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF) across industry.

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) is also headquartered in Greece, with its main offices in Athens and an operational office in Heraklion, Crete.

A new chapter in the development of Greece's space infrastructure has begun with the successful launch of the Hyperion GR-1 microsatellite, the first Greek optical microsatellite developed under the National Microsatellite Program. This milestone gives Greece, for the first time, its own national optical Earth observation capabilities.

The initiative is a strategic investment aimed at strengthening the Greek public sector's capabilities in areas such as civil protection, environmental monitoring, maritime surveillance, precision agriculture, and the protection of critical infrastructure.
