Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sunday had a meeting with pharmaceutical company Pfizer’s board of directors following its decision to set up one of its six digital hubs in Thessaloniki.
The prime minister underlined that “creating the right environment for attracting investment is a top priority for the government” and added that “Greece can become Europe’s success story.”
Mitsotakis thanked the company, which specializes in the production of pharmaceuticals, adding that Greece could become a hub for health technology entrepreneurship with the creation of a new product research and development lab, that will help improve the quality of people’s lives.
Moreover, he stressed the need for making use of the know-how of Greek scientists specializing in digital technology, pointing out that Greece has talented people who work hard as well as good academics who are distinguished abroad. “Our country is capable of becoming a centre of excellence in the field of clinical studies,” Mitsotakis stated.
He also noted that investment interest in Greece is constantly increasing and he wished that Pfizer’s initiative to expand its presence will motivate more companies to follow this example. He stressed that this is the reason why it is very important for Greece to send the message that it has learnt its lesson. It has suffered a lot but it has become more mature, he said adding that economic and political stability is its main priority.
