INSPIRE 2026 | 7–8 October, Nicosia
Nicosia hosted the islands largest gathering of founders, investors and innovators for the entrepreneurial festival, now in its third year. Across seven themed stages, spanning start-ups, disruption, the future of work and sustainability, entrepreneurs from Cyprus and abroad examined the realities of building and scaling a venture, the role of AI in the future of work, and what it takes to create lasting value.
Andreas Andreou attended for the ERATOSTHENES team, contributing the Centre perspective on deep-tech commercialisation and the path from research to market. The discussions underlined both the maturing of the Cypriot innovation ecosystem and the role a Centre such as ours plays within it: translating Earth Observation and space research into services, companies and jobs, and supporting early-stage founders through the Space BIC by ERATOSTHENES CoE.
We were pleased to reconnect with established partners and to meet new founders and potential collaborators, and we look forward to taking these conversations further.
Congratulations to the organisers on another successful edition.
