TechIsland, Cyprus’ largest tech association, is set to host the fifth edition of its flagship event, the TechIsland Summit 2025. This annual full-day conference will be held on 15 May during the Reflect Festival and will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators for a deep dive into the future of technology and entrepreneurship in Cyprus.

This year’s Summit will center around the theme “Unlocking Opportunities”, reflecting on how the tech sector is emerging as the fastest-growing sector, redefining Cyprus’ economic landscape. As key policy shifts take center stage—tax reform, Schengen accession, and an AI national strategy— Cyprus is laying the groundwork for further investment in tech and innovation, while new opportunities emerge, from repatriating top-tier tech talent to scaling the startup ecosystem and leveraging crypto regulations. 

The Main Stage will feature high-impact keynote addresses and panel discussions with thought leaders from across the tech and innovation spectrum.

Building on the success of last year, the Mentors’ Hub, powered by transformation and technology consulting leader Capacitor Partners, will return as a dedicated startup support initiative within the Summit. Located at the Reflect Expo Zone, the Mentors’ Hub invites startup founders to apply for a curated mentorship program. Selected participants will be matched with experienced mentors—ranging from investors and product experts to growth leaders, CTOs, and fellow entrepreneurs—for structured, outcome-driven online sessions. Each session will be tailored to address the startup’s unique needs, offering expert guidance on scaling strategies, overcoming operational hurdles, and identifying growth opportunities.

Tanya Romanyukha, General Manager of TechIsland, highlighted the importance of this initiative: “The tech sector has become one of the most important pillars of the Cypriot economy, contributing over €6 billion annually. For us at TechIsland, the Summit is our annual meeting point—a platform where the entire ecosystem comes together to reflect, align, and explore how we can accelerate this progress even further. We’re also excited to once again join forces with Capacitor Partners for the Mentors’ Hub, offering Cyprus-based startups direct access to seasoned experts who can help them grow, innovate, and scale their businesses with confidence.”

Capacitor Partners brings a proven track record of transforming businesses and governmental institutions, serving a diverse clientele across 11 industries in six countries. On behalf of the company, Managing Director, Michael Tyrimos, mentioned: “We are entering a strategic, long-term collaboration with TechIsland aimed at strengthening the tech startup ecosystem in Cyprus. Through this partnership, our mission is to empower startups by connecting them not only with seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, but also with accomplished executives who can offer sector-specific guidance and support. This partnership reflects our enduring commitment to cultivating entrepreneurship and accelerating innovation across the region.”
