Why Cyprus Became SayGames’ HQ
Cyprus was selected as the company’s headquarters due to its stable business environment, EU regulatory framework and growing tech community.
The island offers a combination of transparent regulations, competitive tax incentives and access to strong IT talent, enabling the company to efficiently manage its global operations from within the European Union.
Today, 41 employees are based in Cyprus, contributing to the company’s international growth. In total, the company employs around 250 people globally.
Investing in the Community
Beyond its business achievements, SayGames actively supports local initiatives in Cyprus.
The company contributes to organisations such as Rainbow Children’s Home, which supports children with special health needs, Animal Rescue Cyprus Foundation, and Island of Hope, which provides care for homeless cats and dogs.
SayGames also supports broader community and environmental efforts. As part of the TechIsland initiative, in 2025 the company supported a large-scale, long-term project focused on protecting Cyprus’ natural environment and preventing wildfires.
In addition, the team independently contributes to environmental restoration — including tree-planting initiatives in areas affected by wildfires.
In 2026, SayGames also supported PASYKAF and the Χρωματί-ΖΩ την ΕΛΠΙΔΑ ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΣ ΚΟΥΔΟΥΝΑΣ foundation, with this support aimed at helping vulnerable groups within the local community.
Looking Ahead
With billions of downloads and a growing global player base, SayGames continues to expand its gaming portfolio while strengthening its presence in Cyprus.
As the company develops new titles and technologies, the island remains a strategic hub for its global operations.
