Capital Link’s Invest in Cyprus Forum will take place on Wednesday, March 22, 2017 at The Metropolitan Club in NYC.
The Forum aims to raise awareness of Cyprus as an investment and business destination among the US investment, financial and business communities. It will showcase the increasing importance of Cyprus as a regional maritime, logistics, energy and operational hub and highlight investment and business opportunities in these areas as well as in financial services, IT and tourism.
Cyprus can be of significant value to companies which are using the United Kingdom as a gateway to the European Union and will thus be affected by BREXIT. Strategically located as the gateway to the European Union, the Middle East, North Africa and the Black Sea, Cyprus is a full member of the European Union with an open market economy and skilled workforce mainly specializing in the financial and service sectors. It offers political stability, an efficient legal system, a competitive tax regime and a restructured and growth oriented economy. The banking system has been recapitalized and is governed by practices aligned with the EU legislation.
The conference will feature the developments and reforms in the Cypriot economy and the Cypriot government's programme for the economy and investments. It will also feature political and business leaders and decision makers from the public and private sectors, including the President and three key Government Ministers from the Republic of Cyprus, the CEOs of major Cypriot organizations and senior executives of US and international companies active in the region.
