Innovation is central to the Cyprus Institute (CyI), shaping our approach to solving real-world challenges.

 

The Innovation and Development Directorate drives innovation, technology transfer, and entrepreneurship, enabling researchers, startups, and industry partners to translate cutting-edge research into impactful solutions. Our focus spans intellectual property protection, commercialization, and spin-off company development, contributing to the knowledge-based economy.

 

We place a strong emphasis on innovations that contribute to a more sustainable future. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development framework as our innovation compass, we actively promote a green economic model.

 

Led by Dr. Konstantinos Kleovoulou, our team collectively brings over 20 years of experience in business, management, and entrepreneurship. Our diverse skillset aligns with the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) competency framework, covering IP management, commercialization strategies, startup development, and industry collaboration. We ensure research reaches the market, creating value for society, industry, and the economy.
