The Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry informs us that in order to better plan the activities that will take place in the year 2024, and in particular regarding international service exhibitions abroad, it expects relevant suggestions from those interested to participate with a state pavilion.

The Ministry’s announcement noted that it is worth pointing out that, in addition to the traditional service sectors in which Cyprus has historically been strong (such as professional services and shipping), after relevant market research, the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry places particular emphasis on new emerging service sectors (e.g. information and communication technology, health, etc.).
To this end, please inform us of your suggestions and proposals for exhibitions abroad, in which you believe that it would be useful for Cyprus to participate with a state pavilion.

We expect the interested parties to send their suggestions in writing to the email petsides@ccci.org.cy no later than Monday 26/6/23.

It is noted that the suggestions will be taken into account when preparing the final list of exhibitions for which the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry will proceed with a relevant announcement of the “De Minimis Aid Scheme to Cypriot companies for participation in Services exhibitions abroad in which the Ministry participates with a State pavilion.” The final list will be based on the total budget adopted for the year 2024.

It is briefly stated that the sponsorship covers:

– 85% of the cost of participating in these exhibitions
– €700 for promotional material (posters, banners, brochures, leaflets) and/or coverage of the cost of TV and DVD rental.
