We are pleased to announce that Ioannis Yiasemis, Founding Partner of Yiasemis LLC, has been confirmed as a speaker at the Cyprus Diaspora Forum 2026, taking place from 6 to 9 May at the Amara Hotel in Limassol.
About the session
Ioannis will be speaking as part of the Startup Launchpad — one of the Forum's flagship sessions and a dynamic platform where five innovative startups present their initiatives in a fast-paced, high-energy format. The session sits at the heart of Cyprus's emerging identity as one of Europe's most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs and innovation-driven enterprises.
His contribution will focus on the legal framework for startups in Cyprus — covering the practical considerations that founders and investors face when establishing and scaling a business on the island, from initial structuring and incorporation through to investment readiness and governance. The Startup Launchpad is designed not only to showcase promising ventures seeking investor support, but also to connect founders with the organisations and advisers that can help bring a business to life — across legal structuring, intellectual property, funding, and beyond.
Why this matters to us
The Cyprus Diaspora Forum is a four-day, in-person flagship event designed to connect global Cypriot leaders, international investors, and senior public and private sector decision-makers. Its Startup Launchpad reflects precisely the kind of ecosystem-building work that Yiasemis LLC cares about — providing accessible, practical support to founders at every stage of their journey, from the first spark of an idea to full-fledged operations.
