Great meeting with Mr. Valentinos Polykarpou, Chairman of TechIsland.
Glad to explore areas of synergy between DCO and TechIsland, with our shared goals making tech a driver of GDP growth by bringing together all players in the ecosystem. With multistakeholder concerted efforts, Cyprus truly has the potential to become a 'Tech Island'.
I also had the pleasure of touring ASBIS in Cyprus, guided by the esteemed members of TechIsland. Their insights and dedication to advancing technology and innovation are truly inspiring. I look forward to seeing the continued growth and impact of ASBIS and TechIsland in driving forward the tech industry in Cyprus. Thank you for the warm welcome and the informative tour!
