Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Cultivating Prosperity Through Collaborative Diplomacy

The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) is the constitutional stake holder of the Government in terms of the full spectrum of Economy and serves as the leading voice for private enterprises on the island, driving innovation and promoting Cyprus as a gateway for foreign investors. “We represent businesses across the board,” says President Stavros Stavrou, “and our objective is to foster growth while offering a robust platform for international partnerships.”

One of CCCI’s major focuses this year is to fortify ties with the GCC. “We see significant opportunities for collaboration in sectors such as renewable energy, real estate, luxury hospitality, and shipping,” Stavrou explains. To unlock these, the Chamber coordinates targeted business delegations, backed by detailed research. “We bring the right people together at the right time,” he continues, “so they can swiftly identify win-win projects.”

Knowledge sharing is also vital to the Chamber’s mission. “We conduct seminars to help Cypriot companies understand GCC regulations and cultural nuances,” Stavrou notes. “Likewise, we run workshops for potential investors from the region, highlighting our Anglo-Saxon legal system, favorable tax regime, and skilled workforce.”

Stavrou additionally underscores Cyprus’s family-friendly appeal. “Quality of life matters when relocating,” he points out. “Cyprus offers a safe environment, top-tier schools, and a vibrant cultural scene—making it an ideal choice for work and personal life alike.”

In the long run, Stavrou believes continued cooperation with the GCC will solidify Cyprus’s status as a strategic hub. “Our Chamber remains committed to guiding investors every step of the way,” he concludes. “Whether it’s matchmaking, legal advice, or practical support, we stand ready to foster mutually beneficial partnerships and sustainable growth across the region and beyond.” ​​
