Cyprus Seeds is proud to announce the renewed commitment of The Hellenic Initiative (THI), a  founding donor whose steadfast commitment continues to empower the next generation of Cypriot  innovators. THI has played a vital role in our journey and their continued support for the 7th year is a tangible testimony of the support that Greeks and Cypriots of the Diaspora demonstrate in fostering deep-tech innovation and research commercialization in Cyprus. 

Since its inception, Cyprus Seeds has benefited immensely from THI’s visionary backing in helping local scientists to transform cutting edge research into market-driven solutions and become  entrepreneurs. THI’s support has enabled us to fund and mentor multiple high-potential research  teams from Cypriot universities, to take their innovative research to the market.  

With THI’s renewed sponsorship, the aim is to further strengthen its impact in the scientific community of Cyprus.  

Cyprus Seeds is a non-profit, private organization in Cyprus, with the vision to commercialize  innovative academic research and create a pipeline of deep-tech spin-offs. To achieve this, Cyprus  Seeds runs an 18-month Innovation Grant Program which provides grants, mentoring, training,  and networking opportunities with investors in Cyprus and abroad. Furthermore, Cyprus Seeds is  a partner in two flagship initiatives in Cyprus, supported by the European Commission and the  Cyprus Government. These are the PHAETHON Teaming Project and the DiGiNN.
