Firm Info

ARIS (A Really Inspiring Space) is a start-up accelerator sponsored by Deloitte Cyprus and the Bank of Cyprus and managed by Deloitte’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre (IEC). It has recently been registered as a not-for-profit legal entity in Cyprus and was created for the purposes of supporting high growth technology startups; it is located in Limassol, Cyprus. ARIS targets startups, which want to speed up the execution time of their projects and accelerate their go-to market speed. ARIS welcomes applications throughout the year submitted by startups with at least two members dedicated to working on the proposed product/service. Products/services have to be innovative and have technology in their core. Applicants need to have an existing proof of concept or prototype and ideally a minimum viable product. The resident startups have access to mentors and coaches with a wide breadth of expertise who support the founders in their entrepreneurial journey with an emphasis on commercialization, financial and business areas. Start-ups enjoy the transfer of knowledge, exposure to various stakeholders and access to the start-up ecosystem; also a free of charge co-working area and access to office equipment and boardrooms. ARIS is an important stakeholder in the local start-up community and an important contributor to its development and maturity. The accelerator frequently organises and hosts various important local events targeting youth such as the entrepreneurial battles for University Students, the Summer Boot Camp for High school students and Innovation Competitions/Hackathons. ARIS has a strong network base and close collaboration with youth-led organisations in Cyprus and local universities and schools. The accelerator is also often utilized as a teaching venue for Business students. Through these activities, ARIS aims to cultivate the innovation and entrepreneurial mind-set to young people and provide them with the opportunity to develop their soft skills. ARIS provides equal opportunities and facilitates access to entrepreneurs from both genders. In fact, 50% of the current resident teams are women-led start-ups, while the majority of staff is also female demonstrating its commitment to female empowerment. ARIS welcomes applications from all sorts of backgrounds prioritizing the fields of technological innovation i.e. Big Data, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity. It favours industries like Renewables, Financial services, Maritime & Shipping, which require higher education in the STEM areas.
