Abstract: Abstract Public–Private Partnerships (PPP) are being increasingly used today in order to find the perfect formula to efficiently complete significant projects (European Investment Bank, (2022). The public sector is in constant need of the funds and the expertise of the private sector, while the latter does have to comply with rules and regulations in order to win and operate an economic project (Rocca, M. D. (2017). The aim of this research paper is to investigate the PPP projects in Greece and to identify where the country stands in comparison to other neighboring emerging countries. The paper follows both the qualitative and the quantitative research method, on the one hand theoretical facts are presented and on the other hand statistics and data give a clearer overview. The findings prove that in Greece, PPP started in 1993, however the first projects were completed in 2002, while the sectors which attract the most funds are the transport industry, because it was rather underdeveloped in the previous decades, education, telecommunications and energy/environment. The comparison with other countries shows that Greece has achieved some significant results, even though it is not achieving so much as the biggest European economies.
