A team of experts from Exness recently took the stage at Cyprus University of Technology in Paphos, delivering an insightful lecture on the intersection of finance, technology, and career development. The talk provided a behind-the-scenes look at the technological innovations shaping the financial markets and practical career guidance for those interested in fintech and related fields. 

The session began with Haikel Ali, Exness Trading Training Specialist, who introduced students to the digital infrastructure behind financial markets. He explained how data analytics, algorithms, and automation play a role in modern financial systems. Using real-world case studies, he illustrated how different analytical methods, such as technical models, fundamental data, and sentiment-driven insights, help professionals understand market behavior and technological advancements in the sector. 

Shifting the focus on career growth, Masha Komarova, Exness Talent Development Manager, shared key strategies for building a successful career in fintech and finance, encouraging students to take a structured approach to their professional development. She highlighted the diverse range of opportunities within the industry, from data science and quantitative research to risk management and product development, emphasizing the increasing role of technology in financial services. 

The lecture concluded with Nikoletta Constantinou, Exness Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist, who provided CV-writing tips to help students enhance their professional profiles. She also introduced the Exness Internship Program 2025, inviting students to apply to gain hands-on experience in a global fintech company. 

Reflecting on the guest lecture, Haikel said, "With the rise of fintech companies, Cyprus has the potential to become the Singapore of the Mediterranean—a hub where finance and technology thrive together. My generation has laid the foundation, but it is the next generation that will carry the vision forward. Therefore, it is a true honor to engage with these students and share what insights I can, in the hope that each generation rises higher than the one before."
