The document discusses entrepreneurship in Greece. It notes that while 47% of Greeks desire to be self-employed, only 33% have actually started businesses. It also notes that Greece has less women entrepreneurs than other European countries at 15% of total entrepreneurs. While Greece has a large number of small and medium enterprises, accounting for 99% of total enterprises, it has fewer total enterprises per capita than other countries. The top challenges identified for entrepreneurs in Greece are skills, internationalization, and financing.
