In just one month Greek-owned startups have raised more than $60 million, taking the sum since the start of the year to over $214 million, according to data gathered by Marathon Venture Capital.

"Finally," say several startup founders commenting on the arrival of the Tech Visa.

This is a new one-year national entry visa that allows highly skilled non-EU talent to work in the country's more than 800 startups on the national register of Elevate Greece, with headquarters or a branch in Greece.

Greek companies are giving positive feedback to the tech visa, a new national entry visa valid for one year, which provides the possibility for highly skilled people to work in Greece for startups on the national register of startups (Elevate Greece) - i.e. for technology companies based or present in this country.
