The 3rd Annual Youth Tech Fest Cyprus has been officially recognized as the Best Youth Tech and Innovation Festival 2025 internationally at the prestigious Non-Profit Organisations Awards 2025, presented by UK-based Acquisition International Magazine.
This honour highlights Youth Tech Fest Cyprus’s unwavering commitment to inspiring the next generation of creative thinkers, artists, sport lovers, innovators and problem-solvers through in-person, immersive ESTEM and digital experiences. In the less than 3 years, Youth Tech Fest excelled in creating diverse, accessible and inclusive platform that unites key players of the education ecosystem and multi-cultural communities. These include students aged 4 – 19 years old from both private and public schools, their parents, educators, governmental entities and policy makers, as well business leaders whose companies care deeply about supporting children and education. Our partners are leaders in all key verticals such as TradFi, Fintech, AdTech, ICT, Energy, Education, Shipping and Maritime, Real Estate, Gaming, Space, Filming, with the active plans to expand relationships with the Manufacturing, Financial and Professional Services, Tourism and Hospitality, Agriculture, Healthcare and Media and Creative Industry sectors.
Youth Tech Fest Cyprus has made history as the first-ever Cypriot initiative to receive global recognition of this magnitude in the field of youth and educators empowerment and wellbeing, and enabling the continuity of their personal and professional development in Cyprus and abroad. This landmark achievement marks a significant milestone not only for the festival itself but also for Cyprus as a whole, showcasing the country's growing role on the international stage in progressive and holistic education via the active engagement of Businesses, Academia and Government. Youth Tech Fest Cyprus has now placed the island nation firmly on the global map as a emerging leader in fostering creativity, digital literacy, soft skills, innovation and entrepreneurship among its young people.
