With the support of XM, in collaboration with Deloitte Cyprus, the ARIS business acceleration programme offers startups the strategic partnerships, mentorship and resources they need to accelerate their growth, increase their impact and create their own success stories.

XM, a Cyprus-based corporate group with a significant number of local employees, strategically invests in innovation, education and entrepreneurship. Through its sponsorship of ARIS, XM plays a key role in fostering the development of innovative ecosystems, and establishing a bridge linking the local business community with global opportunities.

With XM as its primary sponsor, ARIS was established in 2018, in collaboration with Deloitte, which designs and oversees the implementation of the programme via the company’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre.

XM: a strategic partner in innovation

To date, the ARIS programme, in partnership with XM since 2023 and supported by Deloitte, has supported 35 startups, granting them access to valuable resources, mentorship and strategic partnerships. It offers startups and emerging entrepreneurs the opportunity to grow, network with professionals from both the local and international markets and, with expert support, receive valuable feedback on their businesses. Startups participating in the programme also have the chance to be evaluated by investors, and to receive funding to support their continued growth.

Growing local businesses’ global prospects

XM’s contribution goes beyond just sponsoring ARIS for the business acceleration programme. It is a strategic decision that reflects XM’s commitment to enhancing the local business ecosystem and creating new opportunities, both for Cyprus and on an international scale. XM recognises that innovation is key to driving sustainable growth.
