Evidence snapshot for Cyprus
Cyprus has implemented multiple programmes to support women's entrepreneurship and economic participation. The Women in Business Programme supported 62 women-led enterprises with advisory services, with broader ASB programme results showing 410 jobs created for women out of 1,100+ total jobs, and Cyprus Women's Cooperative Bank financed 301 women entrepreneurs while the share of women entrepreneurs in Cyprus grew from ~12% to ~30% by 2012. The country has also pursued tech-sector growth through its Business Facilitation Unit, which registered 1,637 foreign-interest companies in 2022 and helped establish 300+ technology companies that contributed €8.5 billion to GDP and 62,000+ jobs by 2024. However, accessibility compliance for public-sector digital services shows limited measured success despite legal requirements.
