Eleftheria Voskaridou, Founder and Managing Director of Blackbook Agency, had the pleasure of participating in the Limassol Chamber of Commerce’s annual event “Round Tables with our MEPs,” held on May 29, 2025.
As part of the roundtable discussion led by MEP Loucas Fourlas, Eleftheria joined a meaningful exchange focused on the European Year of Skills and the evolving demands of the modern workforce. “It’s always valuable to be part of these conversations that connect policy, education, and entrepreneurship,” she noted.
Being an active member of the Limassol Chamber offers an important platform to contribute ideas, share challenges, and engage with forward-thinking initiatives that shape the future of business in Cyprus.
The event, now in its third year, was organized in collaboration with the European Parliament Office in Cyprus and has become a key forum for dialogue between local entrepreneurs and Members of the European Parliament.
MEP Loucas Fourlas emphasized the critical need for reskilling and upskilling to meet the demands of today’s rapidly changing labour market. He highlighted the importance of reforming education systems, starting from early schooling, to better prepare future generations with essential soft skills.
Five parallel roundtable discussions covered topics such as taxation simplification, European funding opportunities, green and digital transitions, migration, and EU enlargement. These sessions enabled participants to voice their concerns and offer input that can help inform European-level policymaking.
LCCI President Andreas Tsouloftas opened the event by thanking the MEPs and the European Parliament Office for their collaboration. He reinforced the importance of these direct exchanges in strengthening the connection between local business interests and European decision-making.
This annual gathering continues to affirm the Chamber’s dedication to supporting the business community and fostering active engagement in shaping a competitive, future-ready economy.
