The Deputy Minister of Infrastructure, Mr. George Karagiannis, -representing Greek government's stance on the matter- said in his greeting to the participants: "Our intention is to mature the construction sector of the country with the gradual integration of BIM technology, applying it initially on a large scale projects and then when the market has adapted and assimilated the new technologies to make the implementation of BIM mandatory for all projects ".
