July 2024 Quarterly Impact Report - SocialTech Lab

By Steven W. Stavrou & Burak Berk Doluay | Directors

Microsoft Regional AI/ML Hackathon Participants

As we continue through the second quarter of this year, we're excited to bring you our latest quarterly update! Over the past few months, we experienced a rush of new activity, including innovative programs and exciting updates.

With SocialTech Lab delivering new opportunities this quarter, The Base by CyprusInno has been buzzing with energy. From hackathons to workshops, networking events to alumni gatherings, and more, diverse young entrepreneurs continue to utilise our resources to grow their ideas and build new partnerships.

In this update, we highlight some key initiatives that helped propel our impact, including:

  • A groundbreaking AI/ML Hackathon in Cyprus with Microsoft and FINOMENA bringing together Palestinians, Greek-Cypriots, Turkish-Cypriots, and Egyptians. They tackled challenges over 3 days with support from experts, coaches & founders.
  • A large-scale B2B networking event with the EU OSS attracting business people, tech professionals, and service sector experts interested in facilitating collaborations across the Green Line. Attendees had the chance to engage with EU OSS representatives and network for partners.
  • Volume 5 of the Building Bridges Business and Networking Fair: Fashion Edition with the UNFICYP, emphasising fashion entrepreneurship and unity among Cypriots.

As a community center, we also partner with other organisations to host impactful events at The Base:

  • Co-hosted an exclusive alumni event with NASA Project Scientist Dr. Alexandra Lockwood, who shared her NASA journey and engaged in discussions with our alumni.
  • Co-hosted the GDG Tech Talks with Pale Blue, demonstrating Gemini AI's guitar analysis and discussing AI in music education.
  • Hosted an "Effective Networking" workshop for our alumni to boost communication skills for SMB owners, solopreneurs, and startup founders.

We are also excited to keep you in the loop on some of our achievements during this time:

  • Co-hosted the second edition of BOOST: PitchBack with the UNDP BOOST regional team, showcasing live pitches from four ventures tackling global issues.
  • Featured on the "Made in Cyprus" podcast series with Martin Zarian where we discussed peacetech and leveraging technology for social and environmental challenges.
  • Expanded our team with a Project Associate & Growth Specialist and an Innovation Program Specialist to enhance our capabilities and drive further growth.

Entering the second half of the year means preparing for our busiest period yet! New workshops, bootcamps, academies, and more are on the horizon. Your ongoing support is crucial, and we sincerely appreciate your belief in our vision.
