This investment will be included in the projects of strategic importance and the relevant incentive framework since, in addition to the assembly of cars, Next.e.GO SE will invest in the establishment of a Technology and Innovation Campus in Greece, with respect for the environment and utilization of the domestic market.

  An executive delegation of Next.e.GO SE executives held meetings in Greece at the relevant ministries that will be involved for the signing of the "Letter of Intent to cooperate". The contacts will be at a high level of representation, as the discussions will be led on the Enterprise Greece side by the CEO, Mr. George Filiopoulos and on the e.Go side by the Chairman of the Board, Prof. Ulrich Hermann. 

It is estimated that through close cooperation, continuous exchange of constructive views and proper supervision and management of the individual tasks, the agreement will be successfully completed within the next 3 months. It is also foreseen that the project will be completed in 24 months until the full operation of an e.Go production unit in Greece. This project will highlight Greece in the international market as one of the leading European nations in electromobility through the creation of domestic production capacity.
