The Centre for Entrepreneurship (C4E) of the University of Cyprus and The Hellenic Initiative (THI) are organizing the 3rd Innovation & Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF2017) ‘Research Commercialization and Innovative Start-ups’.

The purpose of IEF2017 is to showcase promising innovative research and startups incubating in Cypriot universities and the Cypriot start-up ecosystem. The Forum will bring together Cypriot researchers with world experts and internationally recognized leading minds in innovation, and will provide the opportunity for pitching ideas in front of successful entrepreneurs and venture capitalists from the USA and Europe.
