Startups4Peace Bicommunal Accelerator Programme 2025

We are proud to announce that our company is leading the delivery of the 2025 Startups4Peace (Su4P) bicommunal accelerator programme, which officially commenced this week. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Su4P, a milestone that underlines its legacy as one of Cyprus’s most impactful initiatives for entrepreneurship and peacebuilding.

Su4P is a unique competition and mini-accelerator programme co-funded by the European Union and the Embassy of Finland within the scope of the eunite Programme, implemented by GIZ International Services under the EU Aid Programme for the Turkish Cypriot community. It is delivered in close partnership with the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Commerce, CYENS, and CyprusInno.

The programme is designed to encourage innovative entrepreneurs and startups from across Cyprus to work together, building cross-community connections and partnerships while turning new ideas into viable businesses. Through a series of residential bootcamps, tailored mentoring, and a high-profile pitching battle, participants gain the skills, support, and networks needed to bring their ventures to life.

This year, the stakes are higher than ever. The three winning teams will receive:

• €10,000 seed funding for the winner

• €5,000 each for two runners-up

• And the exclusive opportunity to represent Cyprus at SLUSH 2025 — the world’s leading startup exhibition, taking place in Helsinki this November.

As delivery partners, we are honoured to play our part in creating opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and peace through entrepreneurship. We look forward to supporting this year’s talented cohort as they embark on their journey.

Stay tuned for updates as the programme unfolds — and join us in celebrating a decade of building bridges through innovation with Startups4Peace.
