According to the Grant Thornton report, "Women in Business 2025," female entrepreneurship in Greece remains in a phase of gradual yet slow evolution, reflecting both progress and ongoing structural challenges in the labor market. Even though the percentage of women in leadership positions has reached relatively satisfactory levels compared to the past, the real challenge extends beyond mere presence to ensuring the retention and substantial empowerment of female entrepreneurial activity.

In Greece, the proportion of women in senior executive roles stands at 30.7%, which marks a slight decrease from 31.6% in 2024. This decline suggests that progress is not linear, and a notable number of companies still lack female representation in leadership roles—approximately 18.8%. This scenario indicates that barriers to entry and advancement for women in the business world are still significant, highlighting the need for more systemic changes to promote true equality in entrepreneurship.

Furthermore, the report points out that while 81.2% of businesses have at least one woman in a leadership role, the overall impact remains limited without proactive measures for gender equality. The findings reflect the necessity for both corporate and governmental initiatives to address these challenges, ensuring that female entrepreneurship can thrive and contribute equally to the economy, thereby driving long-term socio-economic benefits for society as a whole.
