WHAT IS THE
CYPRUS FORUM?
Marking the 60th anniversary of the declaration of independence of the Republic of Cyprus, October 2020 saw the launch of the Cyprus Forum: a new, independent, ambitious and not-for-profit annual conference, organised by Oxygono in association with the Delphi Economic Forum and Zenox Public Affairs as strategic partner. The Cyprus Forum seeks to become a lever and catalyst for change through discussions and debate leading to commitments, actions and ultimately outcomes that will improve and promote sustainable and socially responsible policy in Cyprus and the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. The Cyprus Forum brings together local and foreign political leaders, important figures from the public and the private sector, the media, academia and civic society with the aim of initiating dialogue, exchanging ideas and finding new and creative solutions to key areas of public policy.
