DataArt reiterated its commitment to Cyprus’ business community

DataArt, a global software engineering firm recently marked its first year in Cyprus, an event which coincided with the opening of its new premises in Larnaca.

Since first expanding its presence by opening an office on the island in May 2022, DataArt’s newest location continues to grow, with more than 50 members of staff currently employed in Cyprus.

“As part of our ‘people first’ approach, DataArt intentionally selected Larnaca as the city for our new office, because of its convenience for our employees,” Head of DataArt Cyprus Ilya Aristov said.

In addition, Aristov noted that “remarkably, 70 per cent of DataArt’s relocated staff have chosen to settle in Larnaca”.

“The city boasts excellent logistical advantages, since with its proximity to the airport, Larnaca is easily accessible for business meetings in Nicosia – not to mention, it’s convenient for attending events and leisure activities in Limassol,” Aristov explained.

“DataArt remains committed to hiring talents across the island, and is open to establishing offices or coworking spaces in other cities if necessary,” he added.

What is more, the company noted that the new DataArt office is located in Larnaca’s prime business centre, near the marina and Finikoudes Beach, with beautiful views of the sea.

Additionally, he explained that Cyprus’ business-friendly environment and strong economic ties with the UK make it an excellent choice for expansion and fostering business growth.

“With a presence in Cyprus, DataArt is well-positioned to continue delivering high-quality software solutions to its clients in the UK, Europe, and beyond,” Bagrov concluded.

Furthermore, DataArt stated that it continues to leverage its expertise and global presence to deliver innovative IT solutions and services to clients worldwide.
