Pierrakakis: Microsoft's investment is important
Asked to comment on yesterday's announcements concerning Microsoft's investment in Greece, Mr. Pierrakakis said that the data center that was announced is the 8th in Europe. "We have informally competed with the other countries in the region as this infrastructure concerns the wider region," he added.

"These companies assess the political risk of the country and its perspective. "When they choose the country, it means something to us." "The second part has the same nature of the investment. "Storing data from other countries here, informally, also has a geopolitical implication," he added.
