SAVE THE DATES  

Mosaic Perspectives: Leisure & Tourism Industry Tuesday 17th November 2015 
Mosaic Perspectives: Agro-Food Industry Wednesday 18th November 2015

Location: Palia Ilektriki Municipal Cultural Centre, 8 Vladimirou Irakleous Street, 8010 Pafos 

Cyprus is a country bursting with creativity and culture and has the potential to become a leading creative powerhouse in the global map. This will only be possible when established industries in Cyprus will start engaging with home-grown professional talent, rather than outsourcing their work and the required expertise abroad. 

Confronting this lucrative opportunity, the Mosaic Perspectives seminar series intends to review the collaborative possibilities for Cypriot creative and cultural industry professionals both in Cyprus and abroad. During these seminars, the reasons why established industries were deterred from collaborating in the past will be examined and also innovative and creative solutions to the commercial challenges that are at the forefront of these established industries today will be explored and developed. 

The first two of these one-day seminars will focus on the Leisure & Tourism and Agro-Foods industries. 

Within the Open Air Factory concept, we would like to bring Cypriot creative and cultural professionals, leading industry decision-makers, business advisors, government officials, and international development experts together for the very first time to discuss the ways in which creative innovation and cultural intervention can contribute to commercial growth in Cyprus and abroad. We will look at other markets as clear benchmarks and determine whose role it is to lead numerous aspects of this new innovation and growth strategy in Cyprus. 

SEMINAR PRESENTERS

Some of the most successful Cypriot entrepreneurs and organisations who have already embraced creative innovation and cultural intervention will share their stories. There will also be presentations and workshops facilitated by European leading companies and organisations, including the cross-border EU-funded programme “Design for Europe”.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Each seminar will allow up to 80 participants to attend and contribute; some will represent a cross-section of the seminar’s core industry, while others will be Cypriot creative and cultural industry professionals. We aim to rich both the Greek-Cypriot and the Turkish-Cypriot community. The seminars are addressed to Leisure & Tourism and Agro-Foods Industries, Creative & Cultural Industries, Public and Private Organisations and Bodies, and professionals from various sectors with a direct or indirect interest for utilising creative and cultural expertise, such as medical tourism and agriculture.
