In 2022, Cyprus matched the European Union's average with 4.8% of its workforce employed in high-technology sectors, according to Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical service. Notably, women comprised 34.7% of these high-tech workers in Cyprus, closely aligning with the EU average.

The EU as a whole saw 9.8 million people working in high-technology fields, making up 4.9% of total EU employment. In Cyprus, the high-tech sector employed 21,600 people, or 4.8% of the country's workforce, showing a rise from 4.0% in 2021. Meanwhile, the EU's percentage remained relatively steady, slightly increasing from 4.8% in 2021.

Regionally, Ile-de-France in France and Comunidad de Madrid in Spain led in high-technology employment, with 420,000 and 289,000 workers, respectively. Close behind were Germany's Oberbayern, Italy's Lombardia, and Spain's Cataluña, each employing over 200,000 people in this sector.

Conversely, the lowest employment figures in high-technology sectors were seen in Italy's Molise and four regions in Greece: Anatoliki Makedonia, Thraki, Peloponnisos, Ipeiros, and Sterea Elláda, all registering fewer than 3,000 such workers.

Women's participation in the EU's high-tech sectors reached 32.8% in 2022. This rate varied significantly across regions, with Hungary's Nyugat-Dunántúl leading at 50.2% — the only region where women outnumbered men in the high-tech workforce. Italy's Marche and another Hungarian region, Észak-Magyarország, also demonstrated high female representation, with 48.6% and 48.1%, respectively.

For statistical purposes under the NUTS 2 classification, Cyprus is considered as a single region.
