Platform reopens for storm-hit businesses in Thessaly to apply for aid

Businesses in the Thessaly region of Greece that suffered damage from the devastating "Daniel" storm now have another opportunity to apply for financial assistance. The myBusinessSupport platform, managed by the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), has been reactivated for the second phase of aid distribution.

Interested companies are urged to submit their final applications by July 20, 2026. This program is designed to support businesses operating within the storm-affected zones of Thessaly. It encompasses several categories of beneficiaries, including enterprises (excluding agricultural operations) located in the municipalities of Palamas and Farkadona, provided they meet specific activity codes (KAD).

The support also extends to businesses in the tourism sector impacted by unsafe access and water contamination issues. Additionally, passenger transport companies operating in the affected regions and businesses in the tourism accommodation sector facing problems due to water quality concerns are eligible.

This reopening of the platform specifically caters to businesses that had initially expressed interest during the first phase of this second cycle but were unable to complete their final application between March 16 and March 30, 2026. Eligible applicants are those who submitted an initial application between August 13 and September 27, 2024, and had already participated in the first phase of the second cycle, which concluded in December 2025. The financial aid amount is calculated based on a portion of the businesses' revenue reduction, adhering to EU de minimis aid regulations.
