London, United Kingdom. Cyprus’ transition into a high-tech European investment hub was highlighted at the Financial Times’ London headquarters last month, with its tech sector now rivaling tourism in its contribution to the national economy.
London conference hosted by Invest Cyprus and FT Locations
Invest Cyprus organised an international investment conference in London on February 26. The conference was held in collaboration with FT Locations, the global investment arm of the Financial Times, and brought together global investors and business leaders to discuss Cyprus’ economic outlook.
Focus on risk, returns and investment flows
The event, titled “Investing in Cyprus Risk, returns and FDI flows in the innovation corridor,” took place at Bracken House, the headquarters of the Financial Times. It gathered asset managers, institutional investors and senior business executives, highlighting Cyprus’ transformation into what organisers described as a resilient and technologically advanced European investment hub.
Economic and credit indicators cited by organisers
Cyprus was presented as a strategic European platform for global capital with strong regional reach amid heightened geopolitical complexity. Organisers said this momentum is supported by a robust macroeconomic framework and strong economic performance.
Cyprus was described as one of the fastest growing economies in the European Union, with growth reaching 3.4 per cent in 2024 and accelerating to 4.5 per cent in late 2025. The country has returned to the “A” credit rating category across all major rating agencies, and public debt has fallen below 60 per cent of GDP. Unemployment has dropped to under 5 per cent, indicating conditions approaching full employment.
