TechIsland®, Cyprus’ largest tech association, today announces the launch of the TechIsland TechPro Community powered by The Vault, a new professional community for tech experts. As technology, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity increasingly shape how businesses operate and societies function, the initiative responds to the growing need for trusted dialogue among technology professionals.
TechPro is a professional community under the TechIsland umbrella, created for technology professionals working at the forefront of the tech and innovation sector in Cyprus. It brings together CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, technology architects, data scientists, AI and cybersecurity specialists, DevOps and platform engineers, software developers, UX designers, and digital transformation professionals, creating a focused, peer-driven platform for meaningful exchange.
The community’s purpose is to enable members to share insights, discuss real-world challenges, and collectively explore the future of digital transformation, AI governance, and emerging technologies, through open dialogue, experience-sharing, and collaboration across disciplines and levels of seniority.
Unlike traditional networking initiatives, the TechIsland TechPro Community is designed as a trusted professional environment, prioritising substance, experience-sharing, and forward-looking discussion. Members will engage through a dedicated Telegram group, enabling continuous interaction and rapid exchange of knowledge, while quarterly in-person meetups will offer deeper discussion through curated panel conversations followed by informal networking.
The community will be led by Liza Charalambous, Co-founder and CTO of Malloc, Christina Orfanidou, Head of Group AI at Columbia Group, and Ivan Sysoev, Head of AI at Ecommpay. Together, they bring hands-on expertise across software engineering, AI strategy, and applied innovation, ensuring that discussions remain relevant, practical, and aligned with the realities faced by senior technology professionals.
Commenting on the launch, Tanya Romanyukha, General Manager of TechIsland, said: “Technology professionals today play a critical role well beyond building or maintaining systems. Across roles and disciplines, they are shaping how organisations adopt technology, manage risk, and respond to the opportunities and challenges created by AI and data. With the TechIsland TechPro Community, we are creating a space where professionals can exchange perspectives, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another. This is about strengthening the people who are actively shaping technological progress in Cyprus.”
The TechIsland TechPro Community is powered by The Vault by Tria Finance, a Cyprus-based digital assets infrastructure company, combining a software vendor and a licensed Crypto Asset Service Provider. The Vault brings deep domain expertise in security and regulatory compliance. Through The Vault, institutional clients can access SaaS and on-premise custodial crypto treasury solutions, including custody wallet infrastructure.
“We are happy to welcome The Vault as the Exclusive Community Partner of the TechPro Community,” added Romanyukha, “whose support reinforces the initiative’s focus on meaningful, future-oriented engagement within the tech leadership ecosystem.”
On behalf of The Vault, Artem Stopnevich, Managing Director said: “We are thrilled to become the Exclusive Community Partner of TechIsland’s TechPro Community. At The Vault, we recognise the vital role tech professionals play in building resilient, future-ready businesses – especially as Cyprus continues to grow as a technology hub. Through this partnership, we aim to share our expertise in secure custody infrastructure, asset transfers, and capital management, contribute to meaningful conversations, and support initiatives that benefit the island’s economy and society.”
The TechPro Community forms part of TechIsland’s broader strategy to develop specialised professional communities that address the evolving needs of the tech sector, while contributing to a stronger, more connected technology ecosystem in Cyprus.
