During the panel “The Corporate Offering: An International Business Centre with an Attractive Framework for Technology Companies,” Andrea Kallis Parparinou, Partner at Elias Neocleous & Co LLC, shared insights on the types of business structures available, their legal characteristics and the legal framework behind investing in Cyprus and the mechanisms available for cross mobility of companies. She also discussed how Cyprus structures manage and protect intellectual property (IP), which although an intangible asset, is often the most important one for tech companies. She explained how businesses can safeguard IP ownership through collaborations with third-party providers, and highlighted upcoming EU reforms such as the European Design Regulation (EUDR) which will enhance protection for digital products.
