Greek Labor Minister Giannis Panagiotou confirmed that the national minimum wage is set for two revisions before 2028. The first revision, expected to be decreed in December 2025 and take effect in January 2026, marks a definitive step following the parliamentary Economic Committee’s review of the Ministry of Labor’s 2026 budget. A second revision is anticipated in December 2027, with its implementation planned for 2028.

Economic Outlook And Advisory Process

The minister stated unequivocally that an increase in the minimum wage is guaranteed from January 2026. Although details regarding the scale of the adjustment remain forthcoming pending further consultations with the advisory committee, the plan reflects optimism about the positive trajectory of the national economy. Notably, approximately 55,000 workers who receive the minimum wage are expected to benefit.

European Directive Compliance And Wage Adequacy

In addition to establishing the timeline for wage increases, the minister emphasized steps toward complying with the European directive on wage adequacy, recently upheld by the European Court of Justice. Social partners will soon be invited to the inaugural meeting of the advisory committee dedicated to revising the minimum wage, underscoring the collaborative approach taken in these adjustments.

Legislative Measures And Pension Reform

Looking ahead, the first quarter of 2026 is set to witness the submission of an action plan on wage adequacy to the European Commission, followed by the introduction of legislation in Parliament to transpose the directive. Additionally, considerations such as the treatment of arrears for the minimum wage will cover the two preceding years cumulatively. In a related move, the minister assured that drafts for pension reform will be submitted later this year, with the reforms expected to be implemented by 2027.

Webflow Strengthens Marketing Suite With Acquisition Of AI-Powered Vidoso

March 13, 2026

Strategic Acquisition For Enhanced Marketing

Webflow, a leading software platform for website building and hosting, has acquired AI-driven content-generation platform Vidoso to advance its suite of marketing offerings. The move signals Webflow’s strategic shift from being recognized solely as a website builder and CMS provider to emerging as a holistic, agentic marketing platform.

Integrating AI With Content Creation

Vidoso, founded in 2024, uses large language models to help organizations generate marketing materials such as images, presentations, video clips, blog posts and social media content. One of the platform’s features allows users to convert long-form content, including keynote presentations or panel discussions, into shorter formats such as video clips and blog posts. Following the acquisition, Vidoso’s four-person team will join Webflow, and the technology is expected to be integrated into the company’s broader content and marketing tools

Driving Operational Efficiency In A Competitive Market

Webflow has raised more than $330 million in funding and has previously expanded its marketing capabilities through acquisitions and partnerships. Earlier initiatives included the acquisition of personalization platform Intellimize and the launch of integrations with advertising platforms such as Google Ads. The company is operating in an increasingly competitive market as startups develop AI tools for marketing automation. Competitors in this space include companies such as Kana, Hightouch and Blueshift. Webflow CEO Linda Tong said the company aims to build a platform that connects brand management, demand generation, product marketing and content development within a single system.

Closing The Gap With Branded AI Content

Vidoso’s CEO, Sharad Verma, explained that earlier iterations of AI delivered generic content that lacked alignment with individual brand systems. “Frontier models are trained on the average of the internet, not on the specifics of your brand,” Verma stated, emphasizing how Vidoso’s platform addresses this shortfall by ensuring consistent, governed, and production-ready content that aligns with existing marketing workflows.

A Forward-Looking Vision

Webflow views the acquisition as part of a broader shift toward AI-assisted marketing tools that combine content creation with performance insights. According to Tong, integrating these capabilities into a single platform allows companies to create marketing assets while analyzing their performance and refining future campaigns.
