Nikos Pappas, Greece’s Minister of Digital Policy, Telecommunications and Media, is serious about going into space.

“Greece is one of the few European countries that was lacking a space agency,” Pappas said in an interview with Bloomberg at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week. “The Greek space agency will coordinate public and private institutions in order to make best use of the country’s capabilities in the sector of space and satellite applications.”
