We live in a world of VUCA—Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. The pace of change, the rate of change and the kind of change in our personal and business lives is a once-in-a-century event. The key question facing all of us is this: How do we find Opportunity in a world of VUCA and transform that into Products, Services and Engagements with consumers that generate value for our businesses and for ourselves? Creative Intelligence provides a powerful methodology for raising our individual and organizational creative capacities. The five key methods of CQ—Creative Intelligence—are Knowledge Mining (knowing what is meaningful to people), Framing (understanding the narrative story and engagement with people), Playing (experimenting with unknown outcomes), Making (harnessing the latest technologies) and Scaling (bringing new products and services to the market). Creative Intelligence is a lot like sports—all of us can train for it and increase our creative capacities. We can bring out new, valuable products and services and start up entirely new companies. We can learn to harness VUCA, not fear it.

Overview of the potential financing options available to Cypriot startups based on their stage of growth. Exploring the key information investors are looking for in a startup by exploring a pitch deck.
For decades Cyprus has been established as a vibrant business hub with a thriving
economy. Cyprus’ economic performance is indicated in various global reports
documenting the set of factors that contribute to its developed high-income status.
With this report the Centre for Entrepreneurship of the University of Cyprus intends to
evaluate these favorable conditions in relation to the formation, operation and evolution
of entrepreneurship in Cyprus.
The presentation will be focused to show that, an idea is nothing without the hard work that most of the times, no one thinks of. Will try to give an inside point of view on how a Cyprus based company treats ideas and solutions salespeople in general, what they should be prepared for, what options/ decisions they should take before requesting a business meeting. General understanding of B2B and B2C models, what a business concept is and why is needed, how do companies operate towards expenses – a brief inside of budget and time frames.
By 2020, several key building blocks of the future tech universe have been firmly established. Significant progress in areas such as quantum computing, big data, artificial intelligence, robotics and immersive reality have been made, enabling a clearer understanding of how tech will develop in the next 10-20 years.
By 2030, emerging robotics and AI will have made remarkable progress in changing the face of current industries and processes. Most fast food outlets will run mainly on robotic labour, with human labour representing only a small fraction of total spend. AI will be able to support, and eventually supplant, at least 90% of current effort implemented by service professionals such as accounting, consulting, or law.
And by 2040, we will feel comfortable enough with this technology that it will be widely adapted. Our cities, homes and workplaces will be transformed through technology and predictive analytics. Self-driving vehicles will reduce congestion and pollution. Robots will remove the need for widespread human labour. Most processes, such as financial management, will be fully automated and managed by intelligent agents, removing the need for mundane tasks like queuing at a bank or going to a supermarket for groceries.
Advances in gene therapies and biological – mechatronic interfaces will rapidly transform medical technology and health outcomes. These have the potential to not only significantly expand human lifespan, but also improve human health.
At the same time, it is clear that as a society and as a government / economic policy, we are far behind the curve in understanding how these will affect our educational systems, employment and the very idea of human potential.
Comparatively few citizens will be able to adapt successfully to gainful employment (or entrepreneurship) in the future tech society. This means that families and citizens today need to start making decisions for how they will live 20 years from now. These decisions affect their own educational and investment choices, as well as the very nature of our society.
Philip Ammerman will discuss the future trends in tech and how these will affect companies, families and governments in 2030 and 2040.

The programme will provide the participants with the necessary skills to help them negotiate effectively, and at the same time maintain good relationships with their counterparts.
By the end of the 2-hour workshop, participants will be able to:
Apply the necessary negotiation tactics depending on the situation
Adjust their behaviour and style depending on who they are negotiating with
Avoid errors and traps that lead to dead ends in negotiations
Everyone has great ideas, and many of us have more than one. But how can you evaluate your idea to understand whether it’s good enough to launch as a business?
Το design thinking είναι μια ανθρωποκεντρική, διεπιστημονική προσέγγιση που έχει ως στόχο να βοηθήσει τις επιχειρήσεις (π.χ. νεοσύστατες εταιρείες) να αλλάξουν και να καινοτομήσουν. Το design thinking ακολουθεί μια προσέγγιση η οποία συνδυάζει δημιουργική και ορθολογική σκέψη, και περιλαμβάνει μια διαδικασία που αποτελείται από ενσυναίσθηση (emphasize), παραγωγή ιδεών (idea) και δημιουργία πρωτοτύπων (prototype).
The gaming industry is exponentially expanding touching everyone's lives daily without even realizing it. Millions of games have been released and are now readily available for us to play from our living room to our social media on our phone. Working in this industry is truly fascinating. Working in a truly global company with offices around the world is even more fascinating.
I will share with you my knowledge on gaming, discuss its future and teach you best practises in working with teams of different cultures.
Σε αυτή την παρουσίαση θα καλυφθούν τα βασικά για το επιχειρηματικό σχέδιο: τι είναι, γιατί το χρειαζόμαστε, σε ποιους απευθύνεται, τι περιέχει – ορισμοί για κάποιες έννοιες, ποια “εργαλεία” χρησιμοποιούνται για την δημιουργία των σημαντικών ενοτήτων του, ποιοι οι λόγοι απόρριψης του από τους επενδυτές και ποια είδη κινδύνων στην εκπόνηση του.
Its not always easy to have your interview done face to face with the company you want to work and is miles away from you. First impressions are key and many companies ask for either a live video interview or that you explain yourself in an one minute video.
How do you do that? What are the crucial things to avoid in such situations? Yes you might be doing the video home but should you be wearing your favorite sports t-shirt while the TV is on in the background?
We will talk about the right set up, the right lighting, and how to make eye contact even through a camera. Simple steps of video editing will be shown as well as examples will be given.
The threat of automation implies a race between education and technology. In most countries, education systems are not providing workers with the skills necessary to compete in today’s job markets. The growing mismatch between skills demand and supply holds back economic growth and undermines opportunities. At the same time, the returns to human capital are high in most countries, and a growing skills premium is evident in much of the world. Automation simultaneously results in deskilling and imposes a need for new skills, and is changing what education will need to look like in the future.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Over time, entrepreneurship becomes
the principal mechanism through which
economies evolve and regenerate.
Both developed and developing
economies would stagnate without it

"I've had dozens of meetings over the years
with leaders from around the world who
asked how they can build their own Silicon
Valley. It never works.”
J. Breyer, Breyer Capital & Accel Partners [WEF ’14, Bloomberg’s GII 2014]
“would be much better to study the early
history of Silicon Valley than trying to copy
what they are doing now”

Origin #1: Vannevar Bush
Director, Office of Scientific Research
& Development, 1941- 1947
• “Science, The Endless Frontier” report
to US president Truman (July 1945)
‣ Basic research is "the pacemaker of
technological progress”
‣ Supported federal patronage for the
advancement of knowledge in the
United States
• National Science Foundation (NSF)

influence in the growth of science
and technology than Vannevar
Bush” (Wiesner, Biographical

Three driving principles
• Government: bears primary responsibility for funding
basic research and determines the total amount of
funding available in different fields
• Universities: primary institutions responsible for
carrying out government-funded research
• Assessment: based not on political or commercial
grounds but on meritocracy, through an intensely
competitive process of peer review by independent
experts based on scientific merit alone
R. Levin, “The Rise of Asia’s Universities”. Foreign Affairs, May/June 2010

19. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
Why the government?
“Because the full economic benefit of a
breakthrough in pure science can rarely be
captured by the original inventor, private
enterprises will typically have insufficient
incentive to make many socially
productive investments”
R. Levin, “The Rise of Asia’s Universities”. Foreign Affairs, May/June 2010

(btw) The “short-termism” curse
“Americans think everything had to happen
yesterday; they have a very short time frame.
My company is 108 years old. Most of my American
counterparts are thinking about what’s happening
this quarter.
But, we think in generational terms.”
W. Fung, Chairman of Li & Fung (world’s largest consumer-goods sourcing and logistics
company), 2014

Key reasons for success
• Exposes postgraduate scientists-in-training to the most
cutting edge techniques and areas of research
• Allows undergraduates to witness meaningful science
first-hand, rather than merely reading about last
decade’s milestones in textbooks
• Students develop ability to collaborate and assimilate
new information, solve problems, and create new
knowledge
• Best research gets funded - not research proposed
by those who are politically well-connected

“If you think of technology as something that’s
spreading like a sort of fractal stain, every point on the
edge represents an interesting problem.
One guaranteed way to turn your mind into the type
to start up ideas […] is to get yourself to the leading
edge of some technology.
[…] when you get there, ideas that seem uncannily
prescient to other people will seem obvious to you”
Paul Graham, Y Combinator [Source: Course on “How to Start a Start-up”, Stanford
University, Fall 2014].

The role of the private sector

Government-funded Research:
transformation of money into
knowledge
Innovation: transformation of
knowledge into money

Origin #2: Arthur Rock
One of America’s first venture capitalists
• He played a key role in launching
Fairchild Semiconductor, Teledyne,
Intel, Apple, and many other high-
tech companies.
• A driving force in the emergence of
Silicon Valley as a centre of innovation
and entrepreneurship.
• Between 1961 and 1968, invested $3
million and returned $100 million to their
investors.

helping to build great
companies […] having
created jobs.” (Interview with

“70% of the US jobs created in the last decade
come from fast growing, young companies”

Following the US paradigm

“to educate global leaders in innovation, advance
scientific knowledge and foster new technologies to
address critical issues facing Russia and the world”
[Mission Statement. Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech). 2011]
“to promote original innovation in scientific research and
the innovation and integration of key technologies, so as
to scale the heights of world science and technology,
and make fundamental, strategic and forward-looking
contributions to China's economic reconstruction,
national security and sustainable development”
[Guidelines. Chinese Academy of Sciences]

Success in the face of challenges
“Which universities/countries would you
identify as having created/supported
highly effective technology innovation
ecosystems despite a challenging
environment?”
31
32. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
Which challenges?
• National culture that does not support
entrepreneurial behaviour and risk-taking.
• Geographical isolation and/or limited
local market.
• Lack of venture capital or multinational
companies in the region.
• No existing high-ranking research-led
university within the ecosystem base.
32
33. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
Identifying Emerging Leaders
• Not simply a result of strong government funding.
• Played an active, positive role in establishing and/or
growing a vibrant and strengthening ecosystem.
• Critical entrepreneurial development still in its ‘startup
phase’; key E&I components driving this change are still
in place.
• Taken a distinctive path in their entrepreneurship and
innovation policy in response to the particular barriers
faced in their environment;
• Have a significant focus on engineering and
technology in their entrepreneurship activities.
33
36. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
Key building blocks of E&I strength
• University senior management
‣ excellence in strategy & implementation
• University departments
‣ excellence in research, multi-disciplinary work and instruction
• University-led E&I activity
‣ proper focus and alignment
• Student-led E&I activity
‣ enthusiasm and “can-do” attitude
• External E&I community
‣ synergies and flow of people & ideas
36
37. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
Which success factors?
•Institutional Entrepreneurship & Innovation culture
•Strength of university leadership
•University research capability
•The local or regional quality of life
•Regional or government support
•Effective institutional strategy
•Powerful student-led entrepreneurship drive
•Strong partnerships of trust with regional entrepreneurial
community
37
38. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
Development models
• Model A: ‘bottom-up’ and community-
led, catalysed by students, alumni,
entrepreneurs in the regional economy
with a ‘loose IP control’
• Model B: ‘top-down’ and university-led,
working through established university
structures, with a ‘tight IP control’
38
40. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
“the stable development of a research
commercialisation activity, outside a
one-off “blockbuster” innovation,
would take at least 10-15 years”
40
42. M. Dikaiakos, C4E/UCY
“The forces of inertia are so
huge, we need to have a
clear agenda, so as soon as
one thing is done, we’re
starting the next.”
