Cyprus Computer Society congratulates new deputy minister

The Cyprus Computer Society this week released a statement congratulating Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy Philippos Hadjizacharias for his recent appointment to the role.

“The Cyprus Computer Society is at the disposal of the new Deputy Minister with the aim of contributing to the ministry’s work, through the actions it organises for the promotion and strengthening of the IT sector in Cyprus, and mainly with the activities aimed at boosting digital literacy,” a statement said.

What is more, the statement noted that according to an ICT market study, which was carried out by the society in 2021, the establishment of the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy was an important step towards the expansion of the ICT sector in Cyprus, as many sectors in both the public and private sectors have been digitised since then.

“We expect that the new Deputy Minister will continue the valuable work started by his predecessor, the outgoing Kyriakos Kokkinos, who in the last 3 years has set the bar very high, putting the country on a path of modernisation and development,” the statement said.

“On this occasion, we thank Kokkinos for his constructive cooperation with our association, and for his honourable presence at all our events, which he was invited to greet as well as for the support he offered to our various initiatives,” the statement added.
