Introduction

Cyprus’ appeal as a leading international headquartering location is gaining momentum. Its stable business environment and emerging opportunities in multiple sectors, strategic EMEA access and excellent quality of life, are just a few of the many reasons that prompt ICT companies to choose Cyprus as a relocation destination. As a member of the EU and Eurozone community, Cyprus ensures safety and stability for investors, while also offering them market access to more than 500 million EU citizens. A number of international successful technology companies, including, FinTech, RegTech, Entertainment tech (gaming industry) firms, have already either relocated or expanded in Cyprus using the country as a base and gateway to and from the EU. Innovative research, a rapidly growing startup ecosystem, a highly educated and experienced human talent and a range of incentives render Cyprus a perfect choice to start and scale companies. Applied research is encouraged through EU or national funding. Cyprus offers a highly efficient IP tax regime for the establishment of Intellectual Property (IP) holding, exploitation and/or development for corporations. The Cyprus emerging research and innovation ecosystem, IP Law and favorable tax framework make the country a preferred business destination and IP hub whilst, at the same time, achieving the protection afforded by EU Member States and by the signatories of all major IP treaties and protocols.

The 6th Cyprus International Investors Summit will showcase Cyprus’ dynamic and competitive economy, driven by research, scientific excellence, innovation, technological development, and entrepreneurship, and how it is becoming a regional hub in these fundamental areas.

The Summit will take place on 20-21 March 2022 in a hybrid format with both digital and physical attendance from an international audience.
