#7 DeepTech CY Meetup

​#7 DeepTech CY Meetup — University of Cyprus
Building a Deep Tech Ecosystem in Cyprus
📅 Wednesday, 23 September | 19:00 – 21:30
📍 Faculty of Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia

​Cyprus produces world-class research, but very few deep tech companies. The goal of this meetup is to have a discussion as the biggest university in Cyprus, with all of the constituencies of Cypriot deep tech in the same room.

​The Faculty of Engineering will open up with what it has built to bring research closer to entrepreneurship. Then, a 30–45 minute fireside chat will bring together people who see the research-to-market path from different sides, for an honest conversation about what it really takes.

​No panels where everyone agrees. No pitches. Just the real conversation about where Cypriot deep tech is, and where it needs to go.
