An Important Moment for Cypriot Startups, as It Showcased Their Potential on an International Stage
In a meeting last month, Michael Hadjiloucas, a US-based Business Advisory Member of Kinisis Ventures (KV), met with the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides. This encounter marked an important moment for Cypriot startups, as it showcased their potential on an international stage.
Hadjiloucas, who is also a Partner & National Pharma & Medical Devices Sector Leader at EisnerAmper Global, updated President Christodoulides on KV's ventures and its investment in eight Cypriot startups. A highlight of the meeting was the presentation of airbeld, an innovative indoor air-quality monitoring system developed by Embio Diagnostics, one of KV's portfolio companies.
Kinisis Ventures Ltd, established in 2018, is renowned for its unique approach in the Cypriot innovation ecosystem. As the first CySEC-registered Venture Capital fund focusing primarily on Cypriot startups, KV leverages its US experience to elevate disruptive Cypriot innovation. The Fund has strategically positioned itself to identify and invest in early-stage companies with the potential to scale in the USA and other key international markets.
The visit also included touring the labs of Promed Bioscience and Embio Diagnostics Ltd, where Hadjiloucas could experience the groundbreaking work being developed in Cyprus. Embio Diagnostics expressed their gratitude for this opportunity, highlighting the milestone of being recognized in the president's office, and a testament to the growing influence and potential of Cypriot technology startups in global markets, especially in areas like healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
