Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday visited Microsoft’s pavilion in Davos, where he was shown round by the company’s President Brad Smith and his associates, who presented a series of innovative technological applications that link the digital era with green technologies.
During his meeting with Smith, Mitsotakis proposed the use of digital technology for showcasing Greece’s cultural heritage and archaeological wealth. On his part, Microsoft’s president said that this is something that interests Microsoft, which invests in programmes of this kind.
In this context, Mitsotakis noted that Microsoft could visit a major archaeological site, such as Olympia, and table a proposal to the Greek government on how digital technology could be used to enhance the overall experience of visitors.
Also discussed during the meeting was the possibility that the next Microsoft Data Center should be held in Greece. Given that the country is on the front line of efforts to address the climate crisis and make the transition to a zero-emissions economy, the possibility of using green energy to supply the Data Centre is something that greatly interests companies like Microsoft.
