CyServ ’98 at the Euro crossroads

THE fourth Mediterranean Exhibition of Cyprus Services, CyServ ’98, will be held at the International Conference Centre from October 8 to 11.

CyServ ’98 aims to highlight current and future co-operation between Europe and the Mediterranean, in particular Cyprus.

Six countries will be taking part in the exhibition which involves 32 companies and business organisations. Besides Egypt, Greece, Jordan, Lebanon and Malta, the European Union will also be taking part.

CyServ organisers are optimistic that by the year 2000 all Mediterranean countries, as well as participants from other areas, will be taking part.

CyServ ’98 events include a lecture by IBM Italia, Cyprus Branch, entitled “Getting Ready for Electronic Business: Vision-Trends-Reality”, a lecture by Rams Advanced Management Solutions (Israel) on “Project Management: a New Approach Based on the Theory of Constraints” and a panel discussion on “Promotion of the Export of Services”.

The organisers say: “Through CyServ, Cyprus becomes a crossroad of meetings of a wide circle of businessmen and a bridge for Euro-Mediterranean co- operation”.

President Glafcos Clerides will open the event on Thursday, October 8 at 4pm.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
