€200,000 in prizes available for young entrepreneurs in 2026 Stelios Awards Cyprus
The 2026 Stelios Awards for Young Entrepreneurs in Cyprus are now accepting applications until October 31, offering a total of €200,000 in cash prizes to support promising start-ups. The awards ceremony will take place on November 10 in Nicosia, where three winners will be announced, with €100,000 for first place, €60,000 for second, and €40,000 for third.
The initiative, part of Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou's philanthropic efforts, focuses on fostering entrepreneurship, business growth, and job creation among young people in Cyprus. Since the awards' launch in 2023, over €360,000 has been awarded, supporting a growing number of innovative companies.
Last year’s top prize winner, George Chrysostomides, notably donated his €100,000 award to other young entrepreneurs and financially struggling families, underscoring the awards' broader social impact. Applications remain open for a limited time for those interested in competing for this year’s substantial support to accelerate their ventures.
