In an era of rapid technological transformation, success is no longer defined solely by profitability but by impact. By the ability to look beyond the present moment and design a future that embodies progress, ethics, and collaboration. This is the philosophy of Dmitry Bagrov, one of the most influential international technology leaders, who comes to Inspire 2025 to share his story—and with it, his vision of Cyprus as the next global hub for technology and research.
From London to the World—and Now to Cyprus
As Managing Director of DataArt UK, Bagrov plays a dual role: growth leader of one of Europe’s most dynamic tech organizations and strategic advisor to global businesses undergoing digital transformation. His name has become synonymous with ethical technology, sustainable innovation, and human-centered leadership.
His journey began over two decades ago, when the terms “digital transformation” and “AI ethics” were still in their infancy. Today, he is a reference voice on topics such as technology culture, corporate social responsibility in tech, and the future of work.
Cyprus as a Gateway to Global Tech Influence
His decision to actively engage in Cyprus’ ecosystem was no coincidence. Dmitry Bagrov recognizes that Cyprus has all the essential building blocks to become a true hub of innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology: geopolitical stability, strong talent, international culture, and a strategic location.
At the Global Entrepreneur Stage, Bagrov will outline how international companies can invest in Cyprus—not merely for tax benefits, but to build ecosystems rather than outposts. He will explain why collaboration culture, integration of international talent, and state support are critical factors in creating an environment where technology becomes a real driver of change.
The True Face of Innovation
Dmitry Bagrov is not coming to talk only about successful KPIs. He is coming to talk about what it means to take risks with purpose, to fail and rebuild, to view technology as a social mission rather than just a tool. Through his talk, he will shed light on how all of us—professionals, startups, educational institutions, and even governments—can contribute to shaping an innovative ecosystem in the Eastern Mediterranean.
