ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The Cyprus Tech Career Fair is a major event and the first of its kind, and one which aims to help Cyprus stay ahead in the global innovation race by re-orienting its talent towards technology. The event aims to bring technology companies and technology- related companies closer to students and young professionals in Cyprus and give them the chance to explore new and exciting career paths. At the same time, this event will give the technology companies of Cyprus the opportunity to meet local talent.

As more and more multinational corporations and local companies look to promote local hires to grow their operations and scale up, there will be huge employment opportunities in the coming years for young people with the right academic studies and professional experience. It is estimated that the ICT-related sectors in Cyprus will soon reach 10% of the island’s GDP and will create thousands of new jobs, which require special academic and professional skills.

The island has the potential to become one of the leading technology hubs in Europe

WHY TECHNOLOGY

Cyprus has embarked on a mission to accelerate the growth of the technology and innovation ecosystem in Cyprus, by attracting and retaining the top technology employees, companies, and entrepreneurs.

In recent years, internationally successful technology companies, operating in the fields of Software Development, Financial Services, Electronic Money and Payment, Quality Assurance, Infrastructure, Design, Product & Project Management, Regulation and Compliance, Telecommunications, Entertainment, Gaming, Media, Cyber Security, Data Science, AI & ML, Data Management, and many other sectors, have already either relocated to, or expanded in Cyprus using the country as a base and gateway to and from the EU.

Working side by side with local ICT companies, they now constitute a sizable sector of the Cyprus Economy and employ thousands of people. The Government of Cyprus has recently unveiled the Strategy for Attracting Business and Talent to the Island, which includes specific incentives for attracting international companies, which is especially relevant to the ICT sector. Inevitably, all companies, whether they are within the ICT sector or not, have had to adapt and expand their teams to include tech related departments and services.
