The Cyprus Pavillion was located in the Artificial Intelligence, IOT, Cloud and Big Data hall and showcased to the visitors technologies in the fields of cybersecurity, life sciences, payment services, artificial intelligence, compliance services, software, emerging technologies and applied research technologies.

Qualifying Cyprus tax resident companies that invest in research and development activities may result in an effective tax rate as low as 2.5 per cent.
