Under the presidency of George Malekkos, whom we spoke with, the association primarily aims to strengthen innovation, develop AI communities and skills, and advocate for new data and changes\u2014with boldness where needed. With a dynamic strategy and a practical approach, it looks toward achieving measurable results for its members and the country as a whole.<\/p><p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"62\"><strong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"60\">What does taking on the presidency of CITEA mean to you?<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"64\" data-end=\"540\">Taking on the presidency of CITEA comes at a time when speed is critical, especially with the explosion of artificial intelligence. The world is changing rapidly, and we do not have the luxury of delay. I have been a member of CITEA for decades. I know our members, their capabilities, and the challenges they face. The first day was very emotional for me, but from the second day onward, it has been about hard and continuous work. I will give my very best for our members.<\/p><p data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"627\"><strong data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"625\">What is the core leadership philosophy you bring to the new Board of Directors?<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"978\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">CITEA will not simply be supportive\u2014it will be assertive. On issues that affect our members and the future of the country, we will push for change in a clear and dynamic way. My philosophy is straightforward: CITEA will not remain an observer. It will claim, push, and, where necessary, demand changes for the benefit of its members and the country.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"223\">Our primary goal is to increase the value for our members through synergies among Cypriot companies, as well as through collaborations abroad.<\/p><p data-start=\"225\" data-end=\"605\">We will be much more active in creating and supporting AI communities, strengthening innovation, and connecting technology with education. There is a serious shortage of IT professionals and an even greater lack of women in technology. We need to start from a young age\u2014bringing more children, especially girls, closer to technology\u2014and cultivate both technical and soft skills.<\/p><p data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"697\"><strong data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"695\">What do you consider to be the biggest challenge for the ICT sector in Cyprus today?<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"1013\">The biggest challenge is the speed of adaptation and investment in new technologies. We are a small country, but that can be an advantage. With small, targeted steps, we can achieve a significant impact. Companies must continuously invest in technology and innovation. Today, inaction costs more than investment.<\/p><p data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1080\"><strong data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1078\">Where does Cyprus stand today in terms of digital maturity?<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1238\">Progress has been made, but the pace is not sufficient. There is advancement in certain areas, but overall, a faster and more decisive approach is needed.<\/p><p data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1331\"><strong data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1329\">Which areas of the public and private sectors require immediate digital acceleration?<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1914\">Both the public and private sectors need to significantly increase the speed of decision-making. In the public sector, RFP processes for implementing new projects are excessively delayed. Our companies can deliver modern, state-of-the-art solutions quickly, yet it often takes two to five years to complete procedures. As a result, we operate with outdated systems, even though everyone knows a new system is coming. When problems arise, responsibility is often placed on the IT company. In reality, the issue is frequently the delay in decision-making. This mindset must change.<\/p><p data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"2102\">In the private sector, particularly among SMEs, there is also hesitation in adopting AI and automation. If we do not increase speed on both sides, we cannot speak of real acceleration.<\/p><p data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2195\"><strong data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2193\">How can CITEA contribute more effectively to the digital transformation of the state?<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2633\">CITEA will work closely with the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, as well as the Chief Scientist for Research, Innovation and Technology, by submitting practical and actionable recommendations. Our goal is real change\u2014not theoretical discussions. Both come from the market and have strong technical and practical understanding, which facilitates meaningful dialogue and allows us to focus on implementation.<\/p><p data-start=\"2635\" data-end=\"3018\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">However, we do not want to simply collaborate. We are calling for our association to be actively present and institutionally involved in all committees, councils, and visits related to technology and digital transformation. Our role must be substantial and ongoing. We will bring market expertise, identify bottlenecks, and propose concrete solutions that lead to measurable results.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5545610 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5545610\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1dac37c\" data-id=\"1dac37c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a84752 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6a84752\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"980\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/powersoft365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cache_980x980_Analog_medium_457390_282655_26_03_15_215204.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18446\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/powersoft365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cache_980x980_Analog_medium_457390_282655_26_03_15_215204.jpg 980w, https:\/\/powersoft365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cache_980x980_Analog_medium_457390_282655_26_03_15_215204-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/powersoft365.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cache_980x980_Analog_medium_457390_282655_26_03_15_215204-768x429.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-568044c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"568044c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e094419\" data-id=\"e094419\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e272dcd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e272dcd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Are you optimistic that the skills mismatch will be addressed in the coming years?<\/strong><\/p><p>At the current pace, no. Changes are moving far too slowly. For example, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth shows an intention for meaningful reforms and modernization, but it often faces strong reactions. Trade unions have historically fought important battles for workers\u2019 rights, and that is respected. However, in several cases today, they seem to have lost their direction and are acting as a barrier to progress\u2014not only in education but in other sectors as well. Politicians are often hesitant to say this clearly due to fear of political cost. CITEA does not seek votes in elections. We can\u2014and will\u2014speak the truth. If we want real progress, we must dare to make changes.<\/p><p><strong>How strong is the competition from international companies?<\/strong><\/p><p>When it comes to attracting talent, yes, there is a significant challenge. We cannot always compete with the salary packages and benefits offered by large international companies, and this puts pressure on the local labor market. However, in terms of capabilities and expertise, Cypriot companies have nothing to fear from companies abroad. We have excellent professionals and a high level of technological expertise. What we need is guidance, the right ecosystem, and support mechanisms to help Cypriot companies expand internationally and build strategic partnerships with global organizations. That is where we should focus.<\/p><p><strong>Can Cyprus evolve into a regional tech hub?<\/strong><\/p><p>It certainly can\u2014but not simply by attracting foreign companies to set up offices or invest in real estate. There is a big difference between a true tech hub and a model based mainly on real estate and services. If we want meaningful innovation, we must strengthen Cypriot technology companies, help them innovate, and build bridges of collaboration with foreign businesses entering the country.
