“Invest Cyprus is very keen to help companies as they scale and grow, and it’s encouraging to see employers such as JetBrains realize that Cyprus gives them the ability to expand further," said Invest Cyprus Chief Executive Officer, George Campanellas, “The investment by JetBrains is also further evidence that Cyprus is becoming a leading destination for tech companies in the European Union.”
Discussing the move, Maxim Shafirov, the CEO of JetBrains, said: “Technology companies are attracted to Cyprus because of the incentives offered and the overall environment is conducive to growing our operations and clientele.
“We have already relocated more than 220 employees to Cyprus, and our goal is to increase that number to about 300 by the end of the year. While such relocation procedures need considerable time to be completed, the support we received from Invest Cyprus means everything was made much easier, and the transition for the company and its employees has been smooth."
Mr Campanellas added: “As the national authority responsible for attracting foreign investment and providing certainty to foreign companies operating in Cyprus, we are dedicating all our energy to this mission. Despite adverse international conditions, the ICT output exceeded 1.9 billion euros in 2021, and we are optimistic that it will be even higher by the end of this year.”
Cyprus’s geographical location, at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, alongside its highly-skilled, multi-lingual workforce, robust legal framework and business friendly environment make it the ideal investment destination for tech and business, said Mr Campanellas.

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release

Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
