Annual Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum

University of Cyprus

UCY

In partnership with the University of Cyprus, we host the Annual Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum. This event is designed to boost entrepreneurship in Cyprus through the Centre for Entrepreneurship. Our goal is to engage academia, scientists, and the wider community in exploring ideas, practices, and opportunities in these fields. We achieve this by inviting influential figures from both academic and business circles. Each year, the forum focuses on a unique theme, sparking fresh insights and discussions.
