Keve Establishes Cyprus’ Inaugural Business Association Of Sports

A New Chapter In Cyprus’ Sports Industry

The Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Keve) has announced the creation of BAS Cyprus, the nation’s first Business Association of Sports. This pioneering initiative is designed to integrate the sports and business sectors, driving collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development across the region.

Fostering Investment And Innovation

The newly established BAS Cyprus is set to become a vital link for companies, organizations, and professionals operating in the sports arena. By building a robust network of partnerships and offering comprehensive training and representation, BAS aims to attract investment, catalyze innovation, and generate fresh employment opportunities. The initiative is positioned to elevate Cyprus as a regional hub for sports business and innovation.

Bridging Business And Sport

Philokypros Roussounides, Keve Secretary General, highlighted the significance of this step as a means to bolster Cypriot sport through enhanced business engagement and international outreach. BAS Cyprus is envisioned as a bridge between entrepreneurship and sport, reinforcing international participation while contributing to the economic, social, and environmental development of the country.

Championing A Collaborative Future

BAS Cyprus is open to a wide spectrum of participants—from traditional businesses and sports clubs to startups and service providers. By fostering networking and strategic partnerships on both local and international levels, BAS is set to offer its members increased visibility and access to specialized knowledge crucial for strengthening their market positions.

Industry Leadership And Strategic Growth

Under the leadership of President Eva Pourkou, along with vice president Aristos Potamitis, general secretary Panos Georgiou, treasurer Marios Athanasiou, and board member Mary Charalambous Papamiltiadi, BAS Cyprus is poised to drive the evolution of the sports sector. As Cyprus capitalizes on untapped potential in the international sports arena, BAS emerges as a key player in uniting business acumen with sports excellence.

Keve’s commitment to supporting initiatives that propel the nation forward is evident in this strategic formation, promising to deliver lasting benefits for Cyprus’ sporting and economic landscapes.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
