THI supports the fourth cycle of Cyprus Seeds, an 18-month funding, training, and mentorship program that helps research teams bring innovative solutions from the lab to the market. The program offers grants ranging from €30,000 to €50,000 to teams from Cyprus’s universities and research centers. In addition to financial support, participants receive mentoring and entrepreneurial training on topics such as intellectual property protection, market validation, and investor pitching. Since 2018, with THI’s ongoing support, Cyprus Seeds has completed three successful cycles, supported 19 research teams, and helped launch 7 spin-off companies.
The Hellenic Initiative (THI) is a global, nonprofit, secular institution mobilizing the Greek Diaspora and Philhellene community to support sustainable economic recovery and renewal for Greece and its people. Our programs address humanitarian aid through strong nonprofit organizations, led by heroic Greeks that are serving their country. They also build capacity in a new generation of heroes, the business leaders and entrepreneurs with the skills and values to promote the long term growth of Hellas.
