In an exclusive interview with Forbes Magazine, Michael Ioannou,
CIO and TechLaw Consultant at Elias Neocleous & Co LLC,
examines the transformative role of digital innovation and
international networking in shaping Cyprus’ economic
development. He emphasises the island’s strategic commitment
to digitisation, supported by initiatives such as the IP Box
regime, which has strengthened Cyprus’ position as an
attractive hub for tech-focused foreign investment.
Additionally, Michael highlights the importance of cross-border
collaboration in linking local innovation with global markets,
further cementing Cyprus’ reputation as the “New Tech
Island.” He also discusses the necessity of aligning with
evolving EU regulatory frameworks, including GDPR and DORA, to
ensure resilience and compliance. Through embracing digital
transformation and fostering international alliances, Cyprus is
carving out a competitive edge in emerging sectors such as FinTech,
RegTech, and digital compliance, while driving entrepreneurship and
sustainable economic growth.
