Completing a decade of creative presence in the Greek agricultural sector, GAIA EPICHEIREIN has been and remains the leading body supporting sustainability and business development for agricultural businesses and cooperative organizations in Greece.
By combining the cooperative, technological, banking, and agricultural expertise drawn from our diverse shareholder base, we are leaders in the provision of innovative services and in the dissemination of information and knowledge about the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), while serving as a model of cooperative approach in the agri-food sector and an equal interlocutor of similar organizations at EU level.
The new decade of great challenges and opportunities that is opening up for European and Greek agriculture with the horizon of 2035, an interim milestone in the implementation of the Green Deal, finds us several steps ahead in relation to the very important goal of digital transformation of agriculture, which is a catalyst for its economic and environmental sustainability. Our development is in line with the development of Greek agriculture and its economic drivers, guided by knowledge, experience, and technological innovation.

The innovative venture of GAIA EPICHEIREIN introduced a new vocabulary in Greek agriculture: entrepreneurship, cooperation, knowledge, technological innovation. These concepts and their translation from strategic priorities to practice have been instrumental in the paradigm shift underway in the European and national agricultural sector already since the previous CAP 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 importance of digitalization in the path towards balanced economic, environmental and social sustainability, both at the national policy agenda level as well as among Greek farmers and agri-cooperatives. Knowledge and technological innovation are not only in our DNA. They represent a sustainable way forward for European and Greek agriculture, placing us at the forefront of the new era unfolding before us.
