The 401 General Military Hospital of Athens applies GS1 standards to automate medical device handling, significantly enhancing operating room efficiency. Similarly, the 441 ABYY implements GS1 standards to automate warehouse processes, reducing medical device processing times.

As part of the implementation of EU Regulation (EU) 2018/574 on the traceability of tobacco products, the Hellenic Ministry of Finance collaborated with the GS1 Association-Greece for the integration of specific barcode labeling.

In Greece, the GS1 system is used in the healthcare sector along with the coding of the National Organization for Medicines (EOF).

In the EU, seven GS1 organizations have partnered with 43 leading stakeholders to promote interoperability of European logistics platforms. They are developing the first federated data network to standardize the exchange of logistics information across the nine major EU transport corridors. GS1 Germany leads the initiative, with 6 other GS1 organizations responsible for standardization and interoperability efforts. Project partners include key players such as the Greek and Italian Ministries of Infrastructure, Air Cargo Belgium (ACB), ATOS, Bilbao Port, CERTH, European Shippers Council (ESC), Interregional Alliance for the Rhine-Alpine Corridor (EGTC), Interporto Bologna and Trieste, Jan de Rijk, Kühne & Nagel, Mondelez International, Procter & Gamble, the Alps-Adriatic, Liguria, Lombardia, and Piedmont regions, Rheinhäfen, TX Logistics, and consortium manager Ertico-ITS.

The research project, conducted in collaboration with the Centre for Research and Technology – Hellas (CERTH), particularly their Institute for Bio-Economy and Agri-Technology (iBO), alongside other stakeholders, successfully developed an Integrated Agrologistics System for tracing and supporting the sale of fresh fruits and vegetables.

The research project, which was conducted in collaboration with the University of Patras, the American Farm School, and other stakeholders, successfully designed and developed a comprehensive system for total and documented traceability and quality control of processed agricultural and fishery products. This initiative focused primarily on meeting consumer need.

Unique combination of IoT and traceability data provides unparalleled upstream visibility for agri-food stakeholders.

The Public Insurance Organization (OPAD) in Greece has pioneered the adoption of the GS1 system, specifically the GS1-128 symbol, for coding and marking prescriptions. This strategic move enables OPAD to exert precise oversight over prescriptions and effectively track expenditures. By employing this system, OPAD can thoroughly monitor the healthcare provided to civil servants in terms of quality, quantity, and financial allocation.

The research project, conducted in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens, focuses on implementing blockchain technology to combat counterfeiting in supply chains while aligning with GS1 standards. By harnessing blockchain's transparency and security, the aim is to redesign traceability. The project entails creating a blockchain platform to track products and ensure authenticity, with a 30-month pilot in manufacturing and logistics. The overarching goal is to revolutionize traceability and address counterfeiting using blockchain technology while adhering to GS1 standards.
