On May 20 and 21, at the Park Lane Hotel in Limassol (Cyprus), the Cyprus IT Forum will be held for the second time, during which more than 500 IT businessmen, investors and government representatives will take part in discussing the directions for the development of Cyprus as a new center of European IT business .
βCyprus has been a key European jurisdiction for Russian business since the 90s. In the 2010s, the Russian IT sector was ripe for international expansion and also chose Cyprus. The reasons are similar - British law, low taxes and a predictable state. Since 2016, 200+ IT companies from Russia have opened offices on the island. "Old" and "new" Cyprus need each other, but live in many respects separately. We are creating a forum to help unite these worlds,β said forum organizer Nikita Daniels.
Like last year, this time the heads of international IT companies, representatives of ministries and the banking sector will make presentations. Also invited are special guests whose business is directly related to Cyprus.
In particular, Aleksey Gubarev, the owner of Servers.com and co-founder of the Haxus investment fund, will share his 15-year experience of doing business on the island and in the world.
Parimatch Managing Partner Sergey Portnov will tell the forum participants why Cyprus was chosen as the company's European headquarters. The Chairman of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, Demetra Kalogherou, will share useful information about the regulation of cryptocurrencies, taxes and rules for IT and fintech companies.
The well-known film producer Timur Bekmambetov is also expected to participate in the forum, who will talk about his current projects and work in Cyprus.
The forum will include panel discussions on the issues of registering companies and opening bank accounts in Cyprus, taxation, attracting and retaining personnel.
The Cyprus IT Forum program also includes industry discussions with the participation of government officials on investment, e-sports, game development.
βOur goal is to create a friendly business environment that helps businesses grow. CITF for us is a channel of two-way communication with the Cyprus IT community,β said Dr. Stelios Himonas, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy, Trade, Industry and Tourism.
Cyprus IT Forum 2019 will be held at the five-star Parklane Resort & Spa by Mariott (Limassol, Cyprus), where the participants of the event will be provided with the most comfortable conditions for business and friendly communication.
