Olsberg•SPI (SPI) CEO Leon Forde will present SPI’s study of the economic impact of Greece’s film and television production incentive at the 67th Thessaloniki International Film Festival on Wednesday 11th November 2026.
The study examined the cash rebate’s contribution to the Greek economy, employment and the wider production sector. Analysing over 400 projects funded or approved between 2018 and 2025, it found that every €1 of public investment generated €4.20 in net gross value added (GVA). The rebate contributed €928.7 million in GVA and supported an average of 2,900 full-time equivalent jobs annually.
The study also provides recommendations to support the sector’s future growth, including stable incentive funding, simpler procedures and investment in infrastructure and skills.
The presentation will take place from 14:30 to 15:30 at the EKKOMED Stand, Warehouse C.
