Organised by the Bank of Cyprus, the summit promises to deliver inspired ideas from successful business leaders.
The summit, scheduled for October 16 at the Hilton Nicosia, will focus on the “redefinition of businesses” and how organisations can evolve and adapt to new circumstances.
Topics such as innovation, entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and sustainable development will also be discussed.
An announcement by the organisers explained that speakers will exchange their views on the digital revolution and the changes it brings, along with conversations on energy and climate change.
A highlight of the event will be a roundtable discussion titled “Redefining Business and Entrepreneurship: Inspiring Insights from Successful Business Leaders.”
“In this panel, two companies that successfully adapted, thought strategically, and achieved their goals will inspire the audience,” the announcement explained.
Specifically, the panel will feature Eftyhios Vasilakis, President of Aegean and Olympic Air, and Vasileios Fourlis, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of HOUSEMARKET SA (IKEA).
They will be joined by Andreas Hadjikyriakos, CEO of Gnosis Communications, who will moderate the discussion between the two prominent entrepreneurs.
Xenios Konomis, Director of Corporate and SME Banking Division at the Bank of Cyprus, will open the panel with an introductory address.
The highly anticipated event will conclude with a speech from the chief executive officer of the Bank of Cyprus Panicos Nicolaou.
