LTIMindtree, Eurobank and Fairfax Digital Services collaborate to build Digital Innovation Hub in Cyprus

LTIMindtree has opened its Digital Innovation Hub at the Research and Innovation Hub of CYENS Centre of Excellence. The LTIMindtree Digital Innovation Hub will enable ideation, co-creation and implementation of Advanced Digital Solutions for Eurobank, Fairfax and other EU customers and aligns with the strategic vision of the Cyprus Government to strengthen Cyprus’ role as a regional tech and innovation hub, triggering unique cross-border opportunities for tech collaborations.

This hub is dedicated to advancing digital transformation, enhancing decision-making, risk management, and operational efficiency. These advanced digital systems plan and automate complex tasks, help make informed decisions and seamlessly integrate with data repositories to deliver operations more efficiently and accurately. Positioned at the intersection of technology and finance, the centre aims to foster collaboration, regulatory alignment, and be a transformative step for financial institutions and banks across the region.

Sanjay Tugnait, President & CEO, Fairfax Digital Services (A Fairfax Company) and Board Member of the Cyprus-India Business Association, said, “The launch of the Digital Innovation Hub in Cyprus marks a pivotal step in enabling Eurobank’s vision to be a digital leader in banking. Together with LTIMindtree, Eurobank, Fairfax Digital, and Voicing.AI, this Hub will accelerate Eurobank’s journey to become a digital-first, customer-centric institution. This initiative is not just about innovation—it’s about elevating client experience through secure, human-led, and cost-effective solutions. This collaboration with the Government of Cyprus deepens the technology and trade partnership between Cyprus and India, building a bridge of innovation and shared prosperity.”

Michalis Louis, CEO of Hellenic Bank, member of Eurobank Group said “The initiative reinforces Eurobank Group’s commitment to investing in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics, to enhance customer value and drive operational efficiency. In close collaboration with strategic partners LTIMindtree and Fairfax Digital Services, the Group is expanding its international footprint and unlocking new opportunities within the broader financial ecosystem. The establishment of the Hub in Cyprus further highlights the island's excellence, solidifying its position on the European innovation map.”

The Government of Cyprus, whose forward-thinking vision is positioning the island nation as a strategic AI centre, will lead the way with its flexibility to welcome new talent to the region and demonstrate the strong commitment to AI through the LTIMindtree Digital Innovation Hub.

Dr. Nicodemos Damianou, Deputy Minister of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy of Cyprus, said, "The establishment of the LTIMindtree Digital Innovation Hub in Cyprus is a strategic milestone that places our country at the forefront of cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence and digital enablement. More than just the creation of a new tech hub, this initiative signals Cyprus’s evolution into a regional force in advanced technologies and digital innovation and also reflects the strength and the potential of our partnerships with leading global technology players and thriving ecosystems like India’s. Our Government stands committed to working together with India and other global trade partners, as well as the private sector, to build a future where talent, innovation, and technology converge—positioning Cyprus as a key gateway for transformative digital solutions across Europe and the wider region."

Srini Rao, EVP and Chief Business Officer- Europe, LTIMindtree said “LTIMindtree is proud to leverage its collaboration with Eurobank and Fairfax Digital Services for the launch of the new Digital Innovation hub in Cyprus.
