As you are aware, as part of the capital’s new urban planning and specifically the commercial triangle project, the Municipality of Nicosia has proceeded to the Makarios III Avenue revamp, looking toward a more sustainable, smart and human city. The main objective of the festival, which has been identified as best practice at European level for creative industries, remains the support of the local community. The festival furthermore aims to gather in to the commercial centre of Nicosia everything innovative, inventive and creative that exists today, in the fields of young entrepreneurship, entertainment, culture and education.

Innovation – Commerce – Art – Education – Food and Drink service – Music
