Welcome by the President

Welcome to the Cyprus Germany Business Association (CGBA), a dynamic platform dedicated to strengthening the business, economic, and cultural ties between Cyprus and Germany. Our mission is to enhance the image of both countries, foster meaningful cooperation, and provide valuable support to our members across all industries.

CGBA serves as a vital bridge between Cyprus and Germany, offering businesses the tools and connections they need to succeed. Whether you’re a Cypriot company looking to enter the German market or a German business exploring opportunities in Cyprus, we’re here to help you navigate the path. Through targeted activities and initiatives, we assist Cypriot companies in better approaching the German market and help German businesses establish a strong presence in Cyprus.

Our Association also functions as a lobbying platform, advocating for the interests of our members and the industries we represent. Driven by a shared commitment to progress, our members actively contribute to the development of both economies and to the well-being of Cypriot society.

The relationship between Cyprus and Germany has always been one of mutual respect and collaboration, with Germany playing a significant role as one of Cyprus’ key trading partners. In today’s evolving global landscape, this partnership is more important than ever. As Brexit reshapes economic alliances, Cyprus and Germany have a unique opportunity to strengthen their ties and explore new avenues for cooperation in both the political and business spheres.

In recent years, Cyprus has seen a growing number of German companies setting up operations here, attracted by the island’s strategic location, business-friendly environment, and highly skilled workforce. From the ICT sector to shipping, German businesses are finding in Cyprus a gateway to the wider MENA region.

Founded in 2008 under the auspices of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, CGBA transitioned into a non-profit organization in 2020, further reinforcing our commitment to fostering Cyprus-Germany relations. Our board of directors, supported by an extended board of founding members, ensures that we remain a forward-looking and responsive organization, focused on delivering tangible value to our members.

As President of CGBA, I extend an open invitation to businesses from both Cyprus and Germany to join us. Together, we can build on the strong foundation of our two nations’ relationship and work towards even greater success.

Steam ahead, make new ideas happen!
