Limassol, Cyprus. Plug and Play Cyprus will host its first innovation expo on November 11, 2026, bringing together startups, investors and industry leaders as it concludes its inaugural acceleration cohort on the island.

The event will take place at ETKO from 5pm to 10.30pm, with the expo and networking programme open to the public free of charge.

The companies are the first group participating in the organisation’s programme to support technology startups and strengthen Cyprus’ position as an emerging innovation hub.

The event is being organised with the Research and Innovation Foundation and the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, alongside corporate partners Tototheo Global, ASBIS, ECOMMBX and Mastercard.

Plug and Play Cyprus said the expo would showcase developments in Cyprus and enable participants to meet founders seeking to expand beyond the island.

Organisers said innovators, investors and industry leaders from Cyprus and the wider region would attend, with the programme focusing on open innovation and technologies shaping different sectors.

Evening schedule

The Plug and Play Cyprus Expo will run from 5pm to 8pm, followed by networking from 8pm to 10.30pm.

The programme will include insights from thought leaders and industry experts, while attendees will be able to explore emerging technology trends and the role of open innovation across industries.
