Invest Cyprus took part yesterday, March 19, 2026, in New York at a breakfast roundtable. This event was organized with FT Locations and fDi Intelligence. It was the second event after the collaboration kicked off in London last month.
The talk focused on where international money is going and why the Eastern Mediterranean is attracting more investment during these changing times. The event “Capital, Returns & FDI: Investing in Europe’s Growth Markets” brought together investors, business leaders, and policymakers. The discussions followed the Chatham House Rule.
They covered many topics: which sectors are becoming hot investment spots, how to assess risk and long-term value, and which European markets have real advantages. Cyprus was a key topic, thanks to its European identity, legal system, growing tech sector, and its prime location at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. This makes it a solid choice for any investor looking for sustainable opportunities.
Yesterday’s event is part of President Christodoulides’ ongoing efforts. In April 2025, he visited New York, Houston, and San Francisco to attract investments.
Eugenios Eugenio, President of Invest Cyprus, said: “Investors today want more than just high returns. They look for resilience, legal security, and strategic access to promising markets. Cyprus has it all. Today’s discussion showed that the global investment community is closely watching Cyprus’ growth and new opportunities.”
Jacopo Dettoni, the moderator and Editor of fDi Intelligence added: “Geopolitical tensions worry many investors right now. However, professional investors—whether big companies or wealthy individuals—think long-term beyond current events. Trends like digitization, artificial intelligence, energy security, and governance quality will influence investment choices in the coming years. In this light, Cyprus is well-positioned to attract interest and provide a bright outlook for the next decade.”
