About

The Cyprus entrepreneurship competition is a business plan competition that brings to the foreground bold innovative ideas and startup activities. We nurture entrepreneurship by connecting people with opportunities and help teams build out their ideas with the support of industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs.

Our focus is on sustainable solutions that respond to real and global challenges through entrepreneurship, technology and innovation.

Our goal is to identify and transform those bold ideas into viable startup ventures with the potential to compete on a global scale, that either drive substantial market value or create social change though different business models.
