Organised by European University Cyprus and the CYBER.EUC Research Center, and co-organised by Women4Cyber Cyprus, the conference will bring together stakeholders from across Europe to discuss the future of digital resilience, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, advanced digital skills, and Europe’s digital autonomy.
The event is held under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026 and the President of the Republic of Cyprus, highlighting the strategic importance of digital skills and cyber resilience for Europe’s future.
The conference agenda includes keynote speeches, thematic panels, practical sessions, case studies, and networking opportunities, with discussions focused on critical areas such as cybersecurity and digital resilience, AI literacy, public administration and e-governance, SME digital preparedness, digital literacy, and inclusive participation in cybersecurity.
As part of the agenda, Mr. Christoforos Christofi, CEO of Channel IT, will participate in the Audience Forum: “AI & Cyber Awareness for SMEs”, taking place from 14:00 to 14:45. The session will be moderated by Mr. Theodoros Loukaidis, Director General at the Research & Innovation Foundation, and will bring together contributors from the public sector, European organisations, and the cybersecurity industry to discuss the growing importance of AI and cyber awareness for SMEs.
Through its participation, Channel IT reinforces its commitment to supporting organisations across Cyprus, Greece, and Malta in strengthening their cybersecurity posture, operational resilience, and digital readiness. As digital transformation continues to accelerate, organisations need more than technology adoption. They need the right skills, visibility, governance, and practical capabilities to respond effectively to emerging digital threats.
As part of its participation, Channel IT is supporting the event as a Gold Sponsor, contributing to the wider dialogue around cybersecurity, digital skills, and operational resilience.
The conference is expected to welcome policymakers, representatives from EU institutions and agencies, cybersecurity and AI professionals, SME leaders, academics, researchers, educators, civil society organisations, students, and young professionals.
Channel IT looks forward to contributing to this important discussion and engaging with the wider ecosystem working toward a more secure, resilient, and digitally empowered society.
