What happened
Cyprus is being positioned as a potential gateway for businesses from Digital Cooperation Organisation (DCO) member states to explore expansion into the European market. The DCO and 28DIGITAL are hosting a virtual masterclass on September 30, intended to guide startups from DCO member states through the opportunities and practical routes for entering and scaling in Europe. Cyprus, which is a DCO member state, is utilizing its EU membership and commercial ties to strengthen its role as a bridge between Gulf businesses and the wider EU market.
