Each year, the number of business clubs in Cyprus continues to grow, uniting entrepreneurs, executives, and innovators across industries. These communities are designed to close the gap between professionals, foster meaningful connections, and broaden the horizons of their business networks.
“Today, several business clubs operate in Cyprus, each with their own mission, goals, and membership criteria,” says Dmitry Dosov, General Partner at Aivitam Ventures and Publisher at The Future Media.

“These clubs serve as powerful platforms for both personal and professional growth—spaces for collaboration, inspiration, and development,” says Dmitry Dosov, General Partner at Aivitam Ventures and Publisher at The Future Media. “We are grateful for the support of our partner, Dream Play, for making this guide possible. With this guide, we aim to showcase the diversity and impact of Cyprus’s business club landscape.”
“We’ve compiled this ranking based on various parameters,” he adds. “These include a club’s positioning, membership requirements, operational formats, and focus areas, among other factors. Having been involved in building professional communities, I’ve seen a steady rise in interest and participation. Business clubs have become essential tools for building relationships and driving growth in today’s competitive landscape.”
This resource delivers an in-depth look at some of the leading business clubs in Cyprus, exploring their mission, member benefits, and how to get involved.
Aleksandr Tkach , CEO at Dream Play:
“Business clubs are about more than just exchanging business cards—they’re about surrounding yourself with the right people. As Warren Buffett famously said, ‘Your wealth is not just about hard work; it’s about who you know.’ In a world where success often hinges on the strength of your network, being part of the right community can unlock new opportunities and fast-track your path to success. As businesses increasingly recognize the power of community, the importance of establishing strong, meaningful relationships becomes even more apparent.”
Long List
The long list of business clubs included in this guide reflects a diverse mix of local and international communities, arranged in alphabetical order:
While Bizon is not headquartered in Cyprus, it has a significant presence among the island’s entrepreneurial community. Many Cyprus-based expats are active members, making it a valuable cross-border platform for networking and exchange.
This list is not exhaustive, and many other business communities and industry-specific clubs were not included in this edition. A separate guide focused on broader professional and interest-based communities is currently in development.
