INSPIRE 2025: Where ambition meets action!

In a time when the world moves faster than ever, and where uncertainty seems to be the only constant, the power of entrepreneurship remains a beacon of hope, resilience, and reinvention. This autumn, that power will be celebrated, amplified, and shared at INSPIRE 2025, Cyprus’ premier entrepreneurial festival.

Taking place on 25–26 September 2025, right in the heart of Nicosia, INSPIRE 2025 will transform Makarios Avenue and the surrounding city centre into a buzzing ecosystem of inspiration. More than just an event, INSPIRE is an open-air experience—part business summit, part cultural celebration, and part creative spark. With over 4,000 attendees, 100+ speakers, 10+ stages, and a dynamic mix of keynotes, panels, networking lounges, street entertainment, podcasts, and live performances, it’s an immersive festival that puts real people and real stories at the centre.

From Founders to Dreamers: Who is INSPIRE for?

INSPIRE 2025 isn’t only for CEOs or entrepreneurs—it’s for anyone with a desire to grow, create, or change something. From start-up founders to students, from investors to creators, from business veterans to first-time innovators, this is a festival that speaks to all generations, sectors and walks of life.

Attendees can expect to connect with a diverse community of like-minded individuals:

• Visionary entrepreneurs who took an idea and turned it into an impact
• Business leaders navigating global complexity and transformation
• Change-makers from tech, fashion, food, art and beyond
• Gen Z innovators rewriting the rules of success
• Creators, athletes, and influencers who inspire through action, not just words

What to Expect: Real Conversations, Unfiltered Stories, Genuine Connection

At the core of INSPIRE 2025 is storytelling—raw, honest, and powerful. Through intimate fireside chats, candid panel discussions, and thought-provoking sessions, the festival will explore what it really means to build something from nothing. Expect stories about big failures, small victories, sleepless nights, bold pivots, and life-changing breakthroughs.

Each of the curated stages offers something unique:

• The Road to Success Stage: Hear from top Cypriot and international leaders as they share their personal journeys of growth, leadership, and vision.
• The Start-Up Stage: Real founders. Real challenges. Real triumphs. Discover how small teams and big ideas are changing industries.
• The Innovation Stage: Explore the frontiers of technology, sustainability, and research-driven entrepreneurship.
• The Global Entrepreneurs Stage: Learn how Cypriot businesses are making their mark internationally—and how global entrepreneurs are choosing Cyprus as their base.
• The New Generation Stage: From family business succession to Gen Z founders, this stage looks at the future of business through the eyes of tomorrow’s leaders.
• The Inspiration Stage: Athletes, artists, and creatives share their life journeys, reminding us that entrepreneurship is about more than profit—it’s about purpose.

More Than Business: Music, Food, Laughter, and Community

What makes INSPIRE 2025 stand out is that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yes, it’s about business—but it’s also about people, culture, and connection. Between the sessions, attendees can enjoy:

• Street food festivals showcasing local flavours
• Live music performances and DJ sets
• Stand-up comedy, cocktails, and chill-out lounges
• Interactive podcast booths, creative corners, and networking experiences designed for real engagement—not just exchanging business cards

INSPIRE Is a Movement, Not Just a Moment

What began as a bold idea has grown into a national phenomenon. INSPIRE 2024 welcomed over 4,000 people and featured more than 80 panel discussions, masterclasses, and fireside chats. This year, it returns with even more energy, depth, and inclusivity—ready to challenge conventions and elevate conversations.

So whether you’re looking for your next big idea, a new partnership, a fresh perspective—or just a place to feel energised and empowered—INSPIRE 2025 invites you to join a movement that celebrates the risk-takers, the builders, the thinkers, and the doers.
