More than 35 speakers and panellists from business, environmental science, hospitality, architecture and other sectors are expected to participate. The one-day event will combine a business conference with public talks, workshops, and an exhibition featuring 28 Cyprus-based brands and organisations.
Business, Innovation And The Green Transition
The B2B conference will examine how businesses across different industries are responding to current environmental challenges, with discussions covering food waste, sustainable tourism, gastronomy, green finance, shipping, construction and technology.
Among the featured speakers is Farah Shammas, Managing Director of St. Raphael Resort & Marina, who will join a discussion on sustainable tourism alongside Genia Boustany, Director of Poseidonia Beach Hotel, Professor Konstantinos Makris of the Cyprus University of Technology, and Philippos Drousiotis, Chairman of the Cyprus Sustainable Tourism Initiative.
Food production and responsible sourcing will also feature prominently on the day. A panel on sustainable gastronomy will bring together Demetris Taliotis, founder of Aparthenasa, Executive Chef Evi Chioti, marine scientist Periklis Kleitou and researcher Demetris Sarris to discuss local sourcing, regenerative farming and sustainable food systems.
The business programme will also examine the financial realities of adopting sustainable practices. Sotiris Karotsakis, founder of Treedia and Associate Lecturer at UCLan Cyprus, will discuss how social enterprises can balance their environmental and social objectives with profitability.
Other sessions will explore financing the green transition, sustainable shipping and construction, and the role of artificial intelligence in addressing environmental challenges.
One of the programme’s more interactive features is the Live Business Challenge. Instead of conventional presentations, participants will work through real sustainability challenges faced by businesses, discussing possible solutions with experts and inviting contributions from the audience.
The conference will also provide opportunities for professional networking and pre-arranged meetings between businesses, exhibitors and attendees.
The full conference agenda and session timings are available on the event website.
What Visitors Can Expect
Alongside the business conference, EcoForward will offer a programme of short public talks exploring how environmental choices affect everyday life.
George Kyrou, Country Coordinator for Fashion Revolution Cyprus, will discuss capsule wardrobes and clothing consumption, while Professor Konstantinos Makris will address ways to reduce children’s exposure to potentially harmful substances in everyday environments.
Alexandros Ioannou Peletie, founder of Precious Plastic Cyprus, will explore plastic reuse, and representatives of VolunTree App and City Friends Club will discuss community volunteering and household waste management.
Visitors will also be able to explore an exhibition featuring renewable energy solutions, electric mobility, sustainable furniture, natural cosmetics, and other products and initiatives.
A highlight will be Material Library, a collaborative project developed with Frederick University and Samples Gallery. During a live installation from 11:00 to 14:00, students will create experimental furniture using discarded textiles, ropes, wires and other leftover materials, demonstrating how waste can become a resource for design.
The programme also includes traditional Cypriot weaving with Andreani Panayide, founder of Folkmona, and a preserved moss design workshop led by Laura Stefania Efthymiou of Design with Moss.
Families can visit a dedicated Kids Zone supported by The Island School, alongside a children’s book fair organised by Vestnik Kipra and a toy swap hosted by Kids2Kids Market.
