Sword Group’s decision to establish an office in Nicosia has strengthened Cyprus’ standing as a key technology hub within the European market. The office is already operational, staffed with 14 team members. This move aligns with our objective to provide existing European clients with an alternative location for Nearshore Support and Services. Moreover, Cyprus offers an extensive network of double tax treaties, enabling companies to avoid double taxation - an important advantage for international tech firms.
