My name is Elias Spyrou. Grounded in a love of family, history and heritage, I was born and raised in Limassol, Cyprus. As a self-made entrepreneur, I am passionately dedicated to the socio-political and economic prosperity of my native island.
I focus on showcasing Brand Cyprus, empowering talent while targeting opportunities far beyond regional borders. As I see it, a new era of innovation and prosperity is dawning in the region, the Mideast, Gulf, and Mediterranean, for those willing to seize the day.
If you share a similar vision, I invite you to learn more about my work, values and mission.
Over the years, my professional work and business engagements have allowed me to connect and collaborate with distinguished, high-profile individuals across industries and communities, both in Cyprus and abroad.
Their goodwill and support power a network that multiplies opportunities for positive commercial and social impact. Beyond personal accomplishment, I derive equal happiness in enabling others’ success.
As a serial entrepreneur based in the EU-member, business-friendly island of Cyprus, one of my earliest goals was to develop the country’s ultra-luxury sector, while generating opportunities for regional commercial ties. Today, this mission sees me at the helm of the Prestige Group of companies, covering every dimension of luxury, while architecting powerful networks such as the RGCA, or Regional and Global Collaborations and Alignments, a vehicle to grow stability, prosperity and discourse across MENA economies.
A love of heritage, values and the printed word fuels my appreciation for those who uplift society, while my commitment to the island’s political and social well-being sees me forge ties with policymakers, diplomats, investors and entrepreneurs. I honour such alliances in the spirit of sustainable, socially-elevating business, with an eye on creating wider cross-border opportunities in the process.
Ties of Faith &
Culture
It would have been impossible to achieve the success of the ultra-luxury Prestige Group brand without a deep, expert network in the fields of design, hospitality, technology and entertainment. Yet, it would have been equally unthinkable to me to build businesses without infusing them with the values rooted in the faith and philosophy of the Hellenic world. I am fortunate to count as my associates and mentors leading figures from these domains.
Hospitality &
Cooperation
Arab hospitality is justifiably renowned, resonating perfectly with the timeless Hellenic and Cypriot tradition of welcoming visitors as valued guests. Over the past decade, it has been my honour to cultivate warm relations with the diplomatic missions of states from across the Middle East and Gulf. Such ties have allowed me to promote Brand Cyprus across the region, while fostering cross-border collaborations for new initiatives.
Visions of
Regional Prosperity
With ties to both the Cypriot diplomatic mission in KSA, as well as the Saudi embassy in Nicosia, today a strong channel of communication exists with high-ranking officials of the Kingdom, allowing ongoing opportunities for country-level cooperation. To date, these include a Cyprus-Saudi business initiative, the agreement for a joint university programme, and the 2022 establishment of the RGCA – Regional and Global Collaborations and Alignments.
