Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry has informed businesses about a new survey launched by the Digital Security Authority to identify the needs of startups operating in the cybersecurity sector ahead of a forthcoming grant scheme.
Survey launched for cybersecurity startups
The survey is being conducted by the Digital Security Authority, which also serves as Cyprus’ National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre (NCC-CY).
According to the chamber, the initiative aims to record and assess the requirements of startups active in cybersecurity, with the findings expected to help shape future support measures for the sector.
Grant scheme preparation
The survey forms part of preparations for a grant scheme designed to support startup companies, which will be implemented through the European N4CY2 project.
The scheme is being developed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/887, which supports measures aimed at strengthening cybersecurity capacities and innovation across the European Union.
Role of stakeholder participation
The chamber said participation by startups and other relevant stakeholders is particularly important for the development of targeted financial support programmes that can contribute to the growth and competitiveness of businesses operating in the cybersecurity industry.
The information gathered through the survey is expected to assist authorities in designing funding measures that better reflect the actual needs and challenges faced by emerging cybersecurity companies.
Submission deadline
The chamber encouraged eligible businesses to complete the questionnaire and contribute to the consultation process ahead of the launch of the support scheme.
Responses to the survey can be submitted until June 26, 2026, the chamber added. All responses will be used exclusively for the purposes of designing the grant scheme, according to the information provided.
