Nicosia, Cyprus. Digital Cooperation Organisation Secretary-General Deemah AlYahya used her visit to Cyprus to strengthen a series of international and local partnerships, highlighting the island’s growing role as an emerging digital hub and the benefits of its membership in the organisation.
Her meetings took place on the sidelines of Cyprus’ “Shaping the Next Digital Frontier” conference and focused on expanding cooperation in digital investment, artificial intelligence, connectivity and digital infrastructure.
Cyprus’ role in the organisation
Cyprus is a member of the DCO, an international multilateral organisation focused on promoting inclusive growth in the digital economy and advancing what it describes as digital prosperity for all.
Meeting with Invest Cyprus
A key part of the visit involved discussions with Invest Cyprus chairman Evgenios Evgeniou, during which AlYahya reviewed progress achieved through the DFDI Cyprus initiative.
She described Invest Cyprus as a valued partner of the DCO.
According to AlYahya, cooperation with Invest Cyprus has helped strengthen Cyprus’ position as a leading destination for digital and technology investment through innovation, entrepreneurship and cross-border collaboration.
The two sides also examined ways to further reinforce the country’s expanding digital investment ecosystem and looked ahead to the forthcoming launch of the DFDI Cyprus report.
AlYahya said that partnerships built around a common vision for digital growth, investment and opportunity demonstrate what can be achieved through cooperation.
