Chief Scientist discusses collaboration with UAE in innovation and technology

Chief Scientist for Research, Innovation, and Technology Demetris Skourides attended a meeting at the Dubai Chamber recently, where the foundations were laid for collaboration, particularly in the areas of innovation and technology.

Skourides met with Hans Larsen from the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy and George Partasides, Commercial Counsellor of the Cyprus Trade Centre in the UAE.

The meeting laid the foundations for exciting collaborations, particularly in the areas of innovation and technology, according to a post on the Cyprus Trade Centre in Dubai’s LinkedIn page. “We discussed the upcoming participation of leading Cypriot companies at GITEX GLOBAL 2024 (October 14-18) in Dubai, where they will showcase their cutting-edge solutions, digital services and IT applications at Cyprus national pavilion,” it added.

“Together, we are opening new doors for Cypriot businesses to expand into the UAE and vice versa since Cyprus has a high-level success to European Funds.”

Cyprus is positioning itself as a gateway for research and innovation, which in turn provides UAE companies with seamless access to Europe’s dynamic digital ecosystem. “Through initiatives like the Cyprus Innovation Initiative, we aim to create mutual value by connecting our vibrant ecosystems, strengthening Cyprus’ presence on the global digital map,” the post said.

Following the success of this meeting and the fruitful exchange of ideas, the aim is to arrange further engagements, including a meeting with a high level UAE delegation and the Cyprus delegation during Expand North Star/GITEX in October.

“Looking forward to continuing this journey of deeper collaboration between our countries, where Cyprus can serve as a crucial link for the UAE to Europe,” the post concluded.
