This panel discussion, organised in collaboration with the Atlantic Council, is part of the two-day Cyprus Forum ending Saturday 30.09.23

The Cyprus Forum is an independent, ambitious and not-for-profit conference, organised by Oxygono, in association with the Delphi Economic Forum. Its objective is to become a lever and catalyst for change through discussions and debates leading to commitments, actions and ultimately outcomes. It promotes sustainable and socially responsible policies in Cyprus and the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. The Cyprus Forum brings together local and foreign political leaders, prominent figures from the public and the private sector, the media, academia and civic society to initiate dialogue, exchange ideas and find new and creative solutions to key public policy issues. In this year’s Cyprus Forum, “Transparency” takes centre stage. Join us as we explore, among many other topics, the power of openness and accountability in governance, business, and society. Be inspired, challenged, and empowered as we unravel the transformative potential of Transparency together.
