The Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry (MECI) and the Cyprus Trade Centre of the Republic of Cyprus in London, in cooperation with Invest Cyprus (Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency), represented Cyprus with a dedicated information stand at London Tech Week 2026, held from 8 to 10 June 2026 at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in London.

The Cyprus stand attracted a significant number of visitors, who were introduced to the strategic advantages Cyprus offers for technology and innovation companies. Developments within the Cypriot ecosystem were also presented, highlighting the country's potential as an emerging technology hub in the fields of information technology, communications, financial technology, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital services.

Particular interest was shown in Cyprus’ rapidly growing startup ecosystem, as well as in the opportunities the country offers as a base for companies seeking access to the markets of the European Union, the Middle East and North Africa. This reflects Cyprus’ steadily increasing international recognition as an attractive destination for investment in technology and innovation.

Representatives of the Cyprus Trade Centre and Invest Cyprus also held a series of meetings with technology company executives, investors, startup founders, investment funds, accelerators, universities and other stakeholders from the international innovation ecosystem. These contacts provided a valuable opportunity to exchange views on global technology trends and explore potential collaborations that could contribute to the further development of the Cypriot innovation ecosystem.

Participation in London Tech Week also served as a platform to showcase recent reforms and initiatives undertaken by the Republic of Cyprus to strengthen innovation, research and the digital transformation of the economy. Strong emphasis was placed on policies that facilitate the establishment and growth of technology companies and support a business-friendly and competitive environment.

London Tech Week is the United Kingdom’s leading annual technology and innovation exhibition. This year, it featured 250 exhibitors, including national pavilions from countries such as Estonia, Indonesia, Spain, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Malta, Romania, Tunisia and the Philippines. The exhibition attracted approximately 40.000 visitors, including representatives of innovative and startup companies, investment funds, research institutions, educational establishments and consultancy firms.

Cyprus’ participation in an event of such scale and international significance reaffirms the Government’s commitment to promoting the country as a modern, innovative and internationally connected business centre. At the same time, it highlights the role of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry, the Cyprus Trade Centre in London and Invest Cyprus in attracting high-quality investment and enhancing the international outreach of the Cypriot economy.

Today, Cyprus hosts a significant number of international technology companies, while the information and communications technology sector ranks among the fastest-growing sectors of the economy, reinforcing the country’s position as a regional hub for technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
