Nicosia is embracing a new identity as it transforms into a global educational and technological hub, thanks to the upcoming 6th Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit in 2023. This city, once renowned for its international service sector, is now at the forefront of a significant educational revolution.
With a total of six universities catering to a diverse student body hailing from over 120 countries, Nicosia is becoming a melting pot of knowledge and innovation. This transformation coincides with the imminent Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit, set to take place on October 17, 2023, under the overarching theme of "The New Normal."
The summit aims to delve into contemporary issues affecting not only the local community but the entire region. Among the topics on the agenda are discussions on artificial intelligence, the evolving work environment, and strategies for effective communication in an era characterized by social media toxicity. Additionally, the event will address pressing issues like climate change, the electrification of cars in Cyprus, and the country's quest for energy self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the significance of mental health, as an extension of physical well-being, along with the growing importance of diversity and sustainability, will be central to the discussions.
This summit is made possible thanks to the generous support of Cyta and the Bank of Cyprus. One of its most exciting features is the Alpha Stage Start-ups Innovation Platform, offering start-ups and research teams the opportunity to participate in the Digital Agenda Alpha Stage Artificial Intelligence Competition (DAAS-AI). This competition is designed to inspire teams from Cyprus and beyond to present their innovative research work with a strong focus on commercialization. The competition is open to entrants falling within a technology readiness level (TRL) range of 3-5.
DAAS-AI has a specific focus on start-ups and research teams working in the domain of AI, particularly in the fields of Tourism, Media, or Learning/Education. It serves as a launchpad for these visionary teams, facilitating their transition from the laboratory to the marketplace, with the ultimate goal of attracting private and venture capital investments. A substantial prize of 10,000 euros, courtesy of the Digital Agenda Cyprus Summit, awaits the ultimate winner chosen through presentations at the Alpha Stage.
