Accelerators & Angels III

The scope of this online event is to discuss the past and future of Cypriot accelerators. Policymakers, local stakeholders in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and established startups, will greatly benefit from attending this event.

With the structure of panel discussion, the event seeks to answer questions such as why we have not seen many startups from local accelerators and incubators entering the global markets successfully and raising high rounds of investments, how can we provide the best support to Cypriot startups and what is currently missing from the Cypriot ecosystem to help startups survive after leaving accelerators or incubators.

The event took place on the 11th of March between 18:00 and 19:30.

– Panagiotis Philimis (CEO at CyRIC)

– Stavriana Kofteros (Co-founder and Chair of Startup Cyprus and European Innovation Council Investment Committee Member)

– Nikolas Mastroyiannopoulos (Chief Scientist for Research & Innovation of the Republic of Cyprus)
