“GAIA EPICHEIREIN does not only strive to instil knowledge and innovation into the national primary sector but is also an innovative venture in itself. The collaboration, under the same umbrella, of agricultural cooperatives and producers with the banking sector, represented by Piraeus Bank, and the IT sector, represented by NEUROPUBLIC, is a model of synergy and entrepreneurial growth geared towards the future and aligned with the priorities of the EU.
The primary sector, the banking sector, and the IT sector are the three pillars that can safeguard the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of Greek agriculture; it is not by chance that such synergies, which we first envisioned and implemented, are now outlined in the objectives and tools of the future Common Agricultural Policy and the European Green Deal”.

The innovative venture of GAIA EPICHEIREIN introduced a new vocabulary in Greek agriculture: entrepreneurship, cooperation, knowledge, technological innovation. These concepts and their transformation from strategic priority to practice have been instrumental in the paradigm shift underway in the European and national agricultural sector already since the previous programming period, a fact recognized by leading stakeholders and policy makers at EU level.
At the same time, our rich activity over the years, paved the way for the acceptance and consolidation of the strategic directions of the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in the era of the European Green Deal, both at national policy agenda level as well as among farmers and agri-cooperatives. Knowledge and technological innovation are not only in our DNA. They represent the only sustainable way forward for European and Greek agriculture, placing us at the forefront of the new era unfolding before us.
