Support for your next export market
The Export Helpdesk of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry helps Cypriot businesses explore overseas markets through its network of Trade Centres.
About the service
The service offers market information and assistance in identifying prospective partners and importers. The Ministry, the relevant Trade Centre and the applicant discuss the products or services, target markets and buyer categories. Where appropriate, the Trade Centre may facilitate business meetings.
Eligibility: The service supports exporters of locally produced Cypriot products and services. Imports solely for re-export without processing in Cyprus are excluded. Non-producer companies should ask the Helpdesk about its separate application procedure.
