About HTCI

The Hellenic Technology Clusters Initiative (HTCI) is a new and dynamic initiative which supports the formation of Innovation Clusters, consisting of companies that can compete at an international level and help Greece to become an added value market for services and products. The creation of Innovation Clusters focuses in specific technology areas that contribute to the country’s sustainable financial growth. The HTCI brings people, companies and technologies together to create ecosystems where innovation can flourish. One of the first initiatives of HTCI and HSIA is the inauguration of the Microelectronics Innovation Center in Athens, Greece, which is a reference point for more than 20 companies that operate in the area of microelectronics and embedded systems, employing more than 650 people –mostly engineers of research and development- across the country. HTCI is funded by the Greek government’s operational program “Competitiveness”, under the European Union’s 3rd Community Support Framework and is the result of the common vision and team effort undertaken by the Greek Ministry of Development, a group of private companies, businessmen, Research Centers and University Labs in Greece towards the creation of targeted clusters in specific technology areas.
