Cyprus – India Business and Investment Summit
Cyprus’ role as a gateway for corporations and investors seeking access to the European market and as an International Business and Investment Hub bridging Europe with the Middle East and Asia.
THE SUMMIT
The blend of high-quality talent, efficient tax regimes and competitive cost of doing business, rooted in a stable English common law system and membership of European Union makes Cyprus an ideal base for corporations from India to establish European operations. Cyprus is a strategic hub where business and lifestyle converge. Its forward-thinking policies, from tax incentives to talent attraction, position it as a Launchpad for global expansion. As a Foreign Portfolio Investment Category I country, Cyprus serves as a trusted platform for channelling Western investments into India amplifying its role as a gateway for Indian companies entering the European market.
Cyprus’s strategic location in the eastern Mediterranean positions it as a backbone in the IMEC, a visionary corridor connecting India, the Middle East, and Europe. Its world-class ports and maritime infrastructure make it an ideal transhipment and logistics hub, encouraging Indian shipping presence and integrating supply chains from East to West. Cyprus’s Commonwealth ties and proximity to major shipping routes further enhance its appeal, reducing trade costs and boosting connectivity.
The summit is addressed to the business community of Mumbai and its objective is to:
- Showcase Cyprus as an international business and investment hub and its role as a gateway to the European market.
- Highlight opportunities for the Indian corporations to use Cyprus as a springboard into Europe.
- Facilitate the dialogue between government officials, business leaders and investors to build partnerships and advance bilateral trade and investment.
