Cyprus’ Chief Scientist Demetris Skourides has been ranked 25th worldwide among the Top 200 LinkedIn creators in GovTech and the public sector, marking a significant milestone for the island’s international profile in research, innovation, and digital transformation. He was also the highest-ranked LinkedIn creator in Cyprus within the same category and seventh overall on the platform nationally. This recognition, reflected by a high Favikon score, highlights Cyprus’ growing influence in AI, GovTech, and digital government.
Appointed National Chief Scientist in September 2023, Skourides attributes the accolade not to personal achievement but to Cyprus’ ambition to be seen as a trusted hub for research, technology, and innovation.

Despite digital progress being uneven, Skourides emphasizes the importance of public trust and communication in driving technology adoption and turning digital ambitions into practical benefits for citizens.
Cyprus' rising startup ecosystem and improved global rankings underscore the country’s commitment to making research and innovation central to sustainable development and competitiveness.
