Greece is poised for a significant economic boost with the approval of five major private investment projects, each promising to generate jobs, enhance infrastructure, and promote sustainable development. Fast-tracked under the country's "Acceleration and Transparency of Strategic Investments" program, these initiatives span key sectors, including tourism, mining, and manufacturing. Leading the charge is METLEN ENERGY & METALS, with a €295 million investment to establish a full-scale production line for critical raw materials in Agios Nikolaos, Viotia.
The facility will produce bauxite, gallium, and alumina, with an annual capacity exceeding one million tons of alumina. Utilizing innovative, eco-friendly technology, this project aims to reduce Greece's reliance on imports and strengthen Europe's supply chain for essential raw materials. In the tourism sector, HYDRA ROCK REAL ESTATE is set to develop a luxurious eco-friendly resort and village spanning Poros and Ermionida.
The €475 million project will incorporate sustainable design principles, including energy efficiency and bioclimatic architecture, while creating jobs and stimulating local economies in the Attica and Peloponnese regions. Meanwhile, Western Macedonia will see a significant investment in its mining sector with ELLIMET Hellenic Mines' new chromite processing facility in Drepano, Kozani. Classified as an "Investment of Exceptional Significance," this project will leverage local chromite resources to produce.
