[01] Five joint ventures comprising one Greek Cypriot and one Turkish Cypriot

At a packed prize ceremony held at Limassol's Stelios House, finalists in the Stelios Award for Business Co-operation in Cyprus and other VIP guests witnessed the handing over of cheques worth €250,000 to this year's winners. Sponsored by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation, the education-to-entrepreneurship charity headed by easyGroup founder, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, a total of €1 million has been awarded as prize money since 2009.

According to a press release issued by the Foundation, around 30 applications were received by the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation with the stipulation that teams must comprise at least one member from each of the island's Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities. The final stage involved an in-depth assessment of the entrepreneurial partnerships by the Foundation's management with the five winners each presented with a €50,000 cheque by Sir Stelios.
