With nearly 250 attendees and a sold-out crowd, CFS 2024 reaffirmed its status as the must-attend fintech event in Cyprus and beyond. Celebrating its fifth year, Cyprus Fintech Summit has come a long way . This year’s summit was more than just a conference, it was a celebration of fintech’s growth that has put Cyprus firmly on the global fintech map. A packed agenda of keynote speeches, panel debates, and networking sessions kept attendees engaged from start to finish. The Contentworks Agency team attended the event and here are some of our highlights.

A Day of Innovation & Collaboration
The event kicked off with a packed auditorium, where attendees were treated to thought-provoking debates and perspectives from over 30 world-class speakers and panellists.
Among the standout contributors were:
- Vitaly Kirshchenya, who captivated the audience with his insights on the critical role of security in modern fintech.
- Akis Tsekouras, who explored the evolution of payment solutions in a globalised economy, leaving attendees with actionable takeaways.
- Spyros Darzentas, whose dynamic presence on stage brought a fresh perspective to the marketing and growth strategies of fintech companies.
- Eirini Fotiou, who inspired the room with her vision of how fintech can create meaningful impacts for businesses and communities alike.
Cyprus Fintech Summit was a powerhouse of innovation and insight. With brilliant speakers and a dynamic audience, it showcased the future of fintech and AI in a way that was both cutting-edge and inspiring. A true nexus of ideas shaping tomorrow.

The day wasn’t just about listening, it was about sparking conversations and challenging ideas. The debates among panellists drew plenty of engagement, as industry leaders exchanged differing viewpoints on the future of fintech.
It has been fantastic to witness such dynamic discussions on the stage. The speakers aren’t just sharing insights, but they are pushing boundaries. I also really love the networking atmosphere. I’ve been to a few events in Cyprus, but nothing has come close to what I experienced here.

Networking, Sunshine, and a Global Stage
Just outside the auditorium, the booth area really became a hive of activity, where fintech companies from Cyprus and around the world met with attendees, forged connections, and laid the groundwork for future collaborations. The event also benefited from an unexpected gift – perfect weather. After days of rain, the sun shone brightly over Limassol, creating the ideal setting for attendees to network during coffee and lunch breaks. Many took advantage of the blue skies to continue discussions outdoors and metres from the sandy beach, further enhancing the summit’s reputation as one of the best networking spaces on the island.
CFS has truly become a global stage for fintech. It’s not just about the content – it’s about the connections and opportunities that arise. It’s the first event in Cyprus that I look forward to and I can’t wait for the next one.

A Testament to Fintech’s Growth in Cyprus
Over the past five years, Cyprus has transformed into a hotspot for innovation, and CFS has played a key role in fostering that growth. This year’s sold-out crowd was proof that the island’s fintech ecosystem is thriving, and attracting international attention.
It was my first time at Cyprus Fintech Summit and I’d have to say that it’s simply the best fintech event in terms of closeness and the organisation that went into it. Another thing I want to say is that it was remarkable to see how many attendees stayed for the full day. It shows just how valuable and engaging the content we’ve just experienced was.
