🇨🇾 Reflect Festival proved to be productive, educational and fun.

My mission to meet government officials on innovation was kindly supported by Israel’s ambassador to Cyprus Mr. Oren Anolik and his team, as well as the organizers.

Had the pleasure to meet and discuss future plans with Deputy Ministers of Research & Innovation of Cyprus Mr. Kyriacos Kokkinos and 🇬🇷Greece Mr. Christos Dimas as well as with Mr. Theodoros Loukaidis, Director General at Research and Innovation Foundation.

Several brilliant Israeli joined the conference, such as Dan Gildoni, PlaceSense, Alon Abelson, High Lander, May Piamenta, Vee, as well as international experts such as Ornela Ramasauskaite and many others.

My speech focused on tips and best practice of startups in 🇮🇱Israel, to better the chances of entrepreneurs and startups also in Cyprus to accelerate towards success. 👏🏻 Thanks Eddy Nassar for moderating. Lastly enjoyed an interview with Panis Pieri from Startup Journalist at Cyprus Mail.

I’d like to thank the organizing team and hosts for an outstanding conference, professionally organized and conducted. Dusan Duffek, Kristina Priecelova, Kristína Mončeková, 0100 Ventures Vit Hanus & Viktor Stefanak as well as Techisland team Marios Giorgoudis & Tanya Romanyukha.

We’re thrilled that Tal Catran, Accelerators Guru, International Keynote Speaker, and Startup Ecosystems Builder, will grace the Reflect’s stage this Friday! His one request to all of you? Bring tissues; it’s gonna be hilarious! 😊

“People are not born startuppers, same as they are not born doctors, pilots, teachers, and lawyers. Startups are, first of all, people – and later technology,” Tal says.

Don’t miss his talk on accelerating your business called “From Dreamers to Doers: Turning a great idea into a Kickass Startup” on the Old Port Stage!
