Cyprus Future Realized: Bridge. Accelerate. Grow

  • The EY Cyprus Future Realized Forum 2026 is a flagship, top-tier forum dedicated to shaping the future of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Cyprus. Bringing together policymakers, the global investor community, local business leaders and institutional stakeholders, the Forum provides a platform for meaningful dialogue on how Cyprus can enhance its FDI competitiveness, resilience and achieve long-term economic growth.
  • Building on the insights of the EY Cyprus Attractiveness Survey, the Forum goes beyond analysis, fostering constructive discussion on policy direction, cross-border collaboration and strategic initiatives that can strengthen Cyprus’s position as an attractive investment destination.
  • Under the overarching theme “Cyprus Future Realized: Bridge. Accelerate. Grow.”, the Forum focuses on finding ways to improve our competitiveness, both as a country and a region, bridging any gaps with the international investor community, and identifying necessary reforms and other enablers in order to facilitate inwards FDI. Through keynote discussions and expert panels, participants will analyse both Europe’s and Cyprus’s evolving FDI landscape, the role of smaller and southern EU member states in this scene, as well as Cyprus’s potential role as a gateway to Europe for the international investment community.
