Keynote Speaker: Unlocking our Digital Future

Cyprus’ competitiveness, sustainability and social prosperity strongly depend on its capacity to develop and advance its posture as a regional tech and sciences hub. Mr. Kokkinos will elaborate on the country’s digital transformation journey, focusing on what has been achieved so far, and what are the Government’s future plans, exploring the ways in which new technologies can establish Cyprus as a dynamic and competitive economy, driven by research, scientific excellence, innovation and technological development, while exhibiting sophistication in both market development and regulatory maturity. The Fintech industry and the Science and Technology (S&T) services sector such as Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies are of strategic importance for Cyprus’ transition to the digital era as well as key pillars of the new, diversified and more sustainable economic model we aspire to develop.
