The willingness of the Cyprus government to invest in innovation, startups, tech, and particularly fintech has brought a lot of interesting companies and also entrepreneurs to build their companies in Cyprus and make their hub here, according to Rami Bar Lev, Account Executive at Okta - an American identity and access management company based in San Francisco.

Bar Lev, along with his colleague at Okta Jose Peña, Solutions Engineer, Africa and Mediterranean Markets, were present at the Cyprus Fintech Summit that took place in Limassol last December. Speaking to CBN they explained why Cyprus is an ideal hub for fintech and discussed the industry’s upcoming trends and challenges.

AI, according to Peña, is an unstoppable force and so it is important for companies, especially those trading in AI, to have security in place for their customers to trust them.
