Positioned first among Leading Panellists was Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy Mr. Kyriacos Kokkinos, who realized the digital needs of the private sector and referred to the plans of his deputy ministry and the government’s in order to support the digital transformation of companies with upgraded services and technologies.

Following among the global stature panellists was renowned global economist Mr. Marios Maratheftis, Partner & Chief Economist at Governance Creed in Dubai, who commented on the successful way the Cyprus government faced the pandemic in opposition to the UK government. He shared his views about the way forward and the potential of the Cyprus Government to continue to support businesses and the economy as a whole with the possibility of a second wave of the pandemic hitting in the fall. He also referred to the same potential of the UK government to face a second wave of the pandemic, whose economy, as in the case of Cyprus, is heavily based on the Services Sector.

Elevating the panel with his valuable presence was leading economist in the markets of the Persian Gulf and Associate Professor of Georgetown University in Qatar, Dr. Alexis Antoniades, who compared the pandemic with similar calamites that struck humanity in the past. The main difference nowadays, he noted, was the digital economy that allowed businesses and individuals to keep contact with clients and friends, and continue their lives in the digital world. He suggested that companies have to take advantage of their technological advancement and innovative spirit in order to create value through new inventions and services for which new demand was created due to the pandemic, and also take advantage of the Big Data that record newly developed trends.

The Panel could not be completed without a Fin Tech & Online Payments Specialist, the Sales & Marketing Director of PowerCash21, principal member of Visa & Mastercard, Mrs Isavella Frangou-Pavlou. Mrs Pavlou referred to the sky rise increase of online payments due to the pandemic and the absolute need of businesses to incorporate new ways of digital payments via Financial Technologies in order to face the rapidly changing environment.
