EcoForward Cyprus 2026: Sustainability That Fits Real Life

Sustainability is not about doing everything perfectly, it is about making better choices where we can.

That is the idea behind EcoForward Cyprus, a new sustainability event taking place on 29 November 2026, bringing businesses, innovators, experts and the public together to discover practical solutions that can work in real life and business.

EcoForward is not designed as another conference telling us why sustainability matters, what governments should do. Most of us already know that. The question is: what can we actually do about it here and now?

From sustainability talk to practical action

At EcoForward Cyprus, the focus is on solutions.

For businesses, the B2B programme will explore practical challenges across food waste, sustainable tourism and gastronomy, green finance, energy and shipping, sustainable construction, architecture and design, AI and technology, and everyday sustainable business practices.

The conversations are designed to go beyond theory. How can a hotel reduce food waste? Does investing in sustainability actually save a business money? How can companies finance greener investments? Which technologies are already available? Can we build more sustainably without making projects commercially unrealistic?

Among speakers at the B2B zone:

• Alice Aubry, Co-Founder, Director of Sourcing & Partnerships,

Sustainability in everyday life

EcoForward isn’t only for sustainability professionals or businesses.

You don’t have to be “green” to come

Perhaps that’s the most important thing about EcoForward.

You don’t need to know what ESG means. You don’t need to live a zero-waste lifestyle. And you certainly don’t need to be perfect. You only need to be curious.

Come to discover a product. Learn one useful habit. Meet an innovator. Find a solution for your business. Taste something local. Ask difficult questions. Or simply find out whether some of the things we call “sustainable” actually make sense in everyday life.

Because moving forward doesn’t necessarily require changing everything.

Sometimes, it starts with changing one thing.
