VENUE: Four Seasons Hotel, Limassol, Cyprus
Several established and reputable Firms, based in the UK, had the opportunity to present Investment opportunities in the UK in Real Estate and other Industries.
​
At the same time, Cyprus Firms promoted Cyprus Investment opportunities, and why Cyprus is the perfect place to invest, to relocate or even to live.
​
The conference was aiming, as always, to promote the business networking between the two countries, Cyprus and UK, however, at this conference there was a little more focus on promoting real estate and other investment opportunities in the UK, as there were a number of well-known business attending and taking part in the conference from the UK.
​
Technology updates have also been included in this conference.
​
We are not only targeting Cypriots, but we are also targeting other investors from the region who may be located in Cyprus or investing through Cyprus such as the Israelis and Lebanese.
​
At the same time, speakers and panelists, based in Cyprus, had the opportunity to raise their points prove why Cyprus is the perfect place to invest in several sectors, to relocate or even to live.
​
Finally, exhibitors had the opportunity to meet with investment migrants, prospective luxury real estate buyers, wealthy individuals, consultants and other delegates, they can do business together.
​
We have proved, during the last Conferences we have organised, that we are more experienced and connected than ever, and we are more than able to organise a very successful International Investment Conference, second to none, with a great turnover, as regards the attendance.
​
I would like to thank all the speakers and panelists as well as our sponsors for their priceless contribution to the success of the event.
​
At the same time, I would like to thank all the delegates, for attending this event and I hope they left the venue satisfied foe the quality of the presentations, but also for the whole event and finally for the tasteful late lunch provided by one of the best hotels in Cyprus, the Four Seasons Hotel.
​
We are now planning ahead looking to present a great event in London in November and an even greter event next year in Cyprus.
​
Thank you.
This conference featured big-name speakers and exhibitors from Great Britain, Cyprus and other countries
