Cyprus is maintaining a strong grip on investment interest, primarily due to its strategic geographic location, its well-developed professional services sector, and the attractive business environment it has built. Foreign interest companies – which are incorporated in Cyprus but mostly controlled by foreign investors – continue to choose the island to establish a physical presence and operate across various sectors, with a particular focus on technology and real estate.
Over 130 foreign companies registered with the Business Facilitation Unit in the first half of this year, with their main source markets being Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East.
Kathimerini understands 133 new foreign interest companies registered with the unit during the first six months of the year, and the upward trend is holding steady.
Software development remains the primary sector of activity, followed by holding and investment finance companies, real estate, business and legal consulting, marketing, advertising, and public relations. Cyprus continues to attract high-value-added businesses, placing a heavy emphasis on technology, international investments, and specialized professional services.
