Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) has launched its Regulatory Sandbox, a pioneering initiative aimed at fostering financial innovation. This sandbox provides a controlled environment for businesses to test innovative financial products and services under regulatory supervision.

Key Highlights:

  • Fast Track Business Activation Mechanism (FTBAM) simplifies the process for businesses to quickly activate and operate in Cyprus.
  • IP Box offers tax incentives for intellectual property-related income, encouraging tech and innovation-driven companies.
  • European Blue Card attracts highly skilled professionals by providing a pathway for citizenship and work opportunities in Cyprus.
  • Cyprus Citizenship eases the acquisition process for highly skilled professionals, making Cyprus a favorable destination for top talent.

CySEC's Regulatory Sandbox is open to both regulated and unregulated entities, with the initiative divided into four phases: Application, Preparation, Testing, and Evaluation/Exit. This structured approach ensures rigorous testing, compliance, and refinement of financial innovations.
