Alpha Stage at Digital Agenda 2025: Showcasing Cyprus as a Hub of Innovation

Cyprus has a story to tell. One of creativity, daring ideas, and a growing ecosystem of innovation. At the Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2025, happening on October 9, the Alpha Stage will put the spotlight squarely on the people making it happen.

Under this year’s theme, “Beyond AI,” the Summit explores how individuals, businesses, and societies can stay competitive in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Alpha Stage is where the story of Cyprus’s innovation ecosystem comes alive. It’s a platform dedicated to the island’s startups, scientists, and policy-makers who have taken bold risks to turn ideas into reality.

Cyprus is punching above its weight in global innovation. Ranked 25th worldwide in the 2025 Global Innovation Index, the island excels in creative outputs and knowledge-driven achievements. But what really matters are the people behind the numbers, the entrepreneurs and innovators whose courage, persistence, and vision are shaping the island’s future as a hub for technology and creativity.

Alpha Stage will bring together these game-changers to share their journeys, challenges, and breakthroughs. From early-stage startups to innovative projects driving social and economic impact, the platform celebrates Cyprus’s talent and ambition, highlighting how creative thinking and entrepreneurial drive can fuel competitiveness, sustainability, and prosperity.

Adding extra excitement this year, Alpha Stage will also present a special award to a prominent researcher, scientist, and innovator, a recognition that celebrates excellence and groundbreaking contributions, with the recipient to be revealed at the event.

The stage isn’t just about success stories, it’s about inspiration. It’s about showing what’s possible when ideas meet action, and why Cyprus is steadily establishing itself as a regional leader in innovation. Alpha Stage is where the energy, ambition, and future of Cypriot innovation are on full display.
