Press Release
The Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2026 has announced another major addition to this year’s speaker lineup: internationally recognised futurist, author and artificial intelligence expert Matthew Griffin.
With more than 30 years of experience in technology and innovation, Griffin has built his career around understanding the technologies shaping our future. He helps governments, global businesses and educational institutions prepare for the profound changes being brought about by artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing and other cutting-edge technologies.
His participation adds further international weight to this year’s summit, which will focus on the growing global struggle for power and influence in the age of AI.
Held under the central theme “AI Wars – Challenging the Balance of Power: Life, Work, Country, Region,” the Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2026 will examine the forces reshaping the world’s geopolitical and technological landscape.
Governments and technology giants are investing billions in the race to lead the AI revolution. But this is about far more than who develops the smartest technology. The outcome will affect how we live and work, how economies grow, how businesses innovate and how countries protect their national security.
The Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit 2026 will take place on October 14 at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre.
Early bird tickets are now available at agenda.cy.
