The Cyprus Diaspora Forum Returns — Bigger, Bolder, and More Global Than Ever

Where Global Opportunity Meets Strategic Vision

The Forum has firmly established itself as Cyprus’ most comprehensive cross-sector platform, bringing together leaders from business, government, academia, finance, technology, culture, and innovation. It attracts decision-makers who are actively shaping industries — and those seeking to be part of what comes next.

Each year, the event draws strong interest from international investors who are:

• Exploring relocation to Cyprus
• Seeking investment in local businesses and franchises
• Partnering with Cypriot companies expanding globally
• Integrating advanced technologies into financial and operational systems

For attendees, this means more than visibility — it means direct access to meaningful partnerships and high-value connections.

A Programme Designed to Inspire, Inform, and Connect

The 2026 edition will feature an exceptional global lineup, including renowned entrepreneurs, influential thought leaders, innovators in AI and digital transformation, medical pioneers, education specialists, finance experts, film personalities, and sporting icons.

Across four dynamic days, participants will engage in:

• High-level keynote presentations
• Strategic panel discussions and fireside conversations
• Industry-focused masterclasses
• Targeted networking opportunities
• Interactive workshops and interviews

A highlight of this year’s programme is a practical masterclass exploring Cyprus as a gateway to EU tech excellence, alongside major discussions on artificial intelligence, fintech, medtech, cybersecurity, energy, education, culture, and content creation.

Repatriation will also be a central theme, in collaboration with the government’s Minds in Cyprus initiative, which encourages talented Cypriots abroad to return and contribute to national growth.

A Platform That Moves Economies Forward

The Forum goes far beyond dialogue — it drives outcomes.

Its mission is to strengthen global business ties, attract investment, and accelerate innovation across sectors including energy, tourism, shipping, real estate, finance, film, health sciences, and green technologies.

It also serves as a vital meeting point for high-net-worth individuals, C-level executives, institutional investors, and international corporations seeking to engage with Cyprus’ rapidly evolving economic landscape.

Founder and CEO Paul Lambis describes the Forum as:

“A global movement that transforms heritage into opportunity, connects generations through shared values, and positions Cyprus as a centre of innovation, culture, and collaboration.”

A Global Community with Real Impact

Previous editions have brought together thousands of delegates from across the world — entrepreneurs, investors, returning diaspora professionals, and international partners who have chosen Cyprus as a place to live, work, and invest.

The Forum continues to strengthen economic and diplomatic relationships with key global regions, including the Gulf and MENA, India, Australia, Central Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. Strategic discussions will also examine the potential economic and geopolitical implications of Cyprus joining the Schengen Area.

Four Days of Experience — From Vision to Celebration

The 2026 programme opens with a spectacular ceremony and VIP cocktail event at the luxurious AMARA Hotel, setting the tone for dialogue, collaboration, and discovery.

The event concludes with the prestigious CYDIA Awards Gala Dinner — a celebration honouring individuals of Cypriot heritage, and friends of Cyprus, who have made a profound global impact across business, science, culture, and society. The evening features world-class entertainment, international performers, and an unforgettable atmosphere of recognition and pride.

Nominations remain open, with the final submission deadline set for 31 March 2026.
