Recent Event
BUSINESS ORIENTATION CYPRUS 2023
Plus: UK Finance, Real Estate & Other Investment Opportunities
A number of established and reputable Firms, based in Cyprus, had the opportunity to present Investment opportunities in Cyprus in Real Estate and other Industries. They have also raised several reasons why Cyprus is the perfect place to invest, relocate or even to live.
At the same time, U.K. Firms promoted a number of Investment opportunities in the U.K. They also went through the current economic challenges and how the Real Estate Industry as well as other industries react. Finally, they pointed out how banks and other financial institutions can help business people and investors raise money for their businesses and their investments respectively.
The conference was aiming, as always, to promote business networking between the two countries, Cyprus and U.K.
Technology updates have also been included in this conference.
Speakers and Firms from Cyprus had the opportunity to update the delegates about the current Cyprus market as regards Real Estate but also many other areas such as Banking, Technology, Funds, and several incentives.
At the same time, speakers and panelists, based in the U.K., had the opportunity to raise their points to prove why London is considered the perfect place to invest in several sectors, and it is one of the top global investment centres.
Finally, exhibitors had the opportunity to meet with investors, 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 this upcoming event.
​
At the same time, I would like to thank all the delegates, for attending this event. I am sure they left the venue at the end of the day, satisfied with the quality of the presentations, but also for the whole event. I believe they spent their day productively and they met a lot of distinguished and successful businessmen and professionals.
Thank you all for your support and trust.
