With confidence and a sharpened strategic outlook, Cyprus continues to stand out as one of the most resilient and adaptable international business hubs in the Mediterranean.
Its economy is growing at a healthy pace—not by coincidence, but through the steady inflow of foreign direct investment, the relocation of international companies, and the increasing presence of global talent and high-value enterprises choosing Cyprus as their European base.
At the heart of this success lies the professional services sector: audit and accounting firms, tax advisers, law firms, corporate service providers, trust and fiduciary experts, banks, financial institutions, investment firms and wealth management advisers.
As part of the 10th Cyprus Professional Services Conference 2026, taking place on 21 April at the Hilton Nicosia, leading industry figures will come together to analyse Cyprus’ evolution as an international business centre, the opportunities the country offers, and the strategies required for it to lead in the global economy. Among the distinguished speakers is the President of the Cyprus Fiduciary Association (CYFA), Christoforos Ioannou.
With extensive experience in economic, legal and European institutions, Mr. Ioannou brings to the panel deep expertise in strategic and business planning. As Director General of CYFA, he works to promote and safeguard the interests of its members and the broader corporate services sector. His career includes significant contributions in areas such as international representation, competition protection and the development of business networks.
During the panel discussion, he will examine the strategies Cyprus needs to modernise its business model, enhance competitiveness and establish itself as a leading destination for corporate relocations and foreign direct investment.
Discussions will also address how the country can attract foreign investment, support the establishment of international companies and strengthen its position as a modern, reliable international professional services centre.
