Cyprus is steadily emerging as one of the most attractive financial and fintech destinations in the wider region, attracting a growing number of international financial institutions, digital asset service providers, and investment firms seeking a European jurisdiction that combines speed, credibility, and seamless access to EU markets.
The country's transformation into an innovation gateway for financial services will be a key topic of discussion at the Digital Assets and the Future of Finance Summit 2026, taking place on 7 July 2026 at the City of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol.
A highlight of the programme will be the fireside chat titled "Cyprus as the Ultimate Innovation Gateway for Financial Services", featuring Demetra Kalogerou, former Chairwoman of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and Financial Advisor at DKA Financial Consultants Ltd.
The discussion will explore Cyprus's evolution from a regional financial centre into a modern, trusted, and agile jurisdiction for the digital economy. It will also examine the growing presence of fintech companies and Digital Asset Service Providers in the Cypriot market, as well as the key factors strengthening the country's international appeal as a hub for digital financial services.
