At this year&#8217;s event, 5 student teams from Cyprus had the opportunity to present their innovative business ideas and exchange experiences with dozens of student companies from all over Europe.<\/p>\n<p>In total, <strong>25 students along with 9 teachers<\/strong> participated in the event, experiencing a unique educational experience that combines entrepreneurship, creativity and international cooperation. During the exhibition, the teams presented their products and services at their booths, while they also participated in presentations in front of a jury and visitors of the event held at the Millenium City Shopping Center.<\/p>\n<p>The teams were selected through Junior Achievement programmes that were completed in 205-2026 and are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time2Thrive<\/strong> \u2013 Primary School of Dasoupoli \u2013 1st Place in the MindReset programme (Elementary Schools)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemonaid<\/strong> \u2013 Engomi Gymnasium \u2013 1st Place in the MindReset programme (Gymnasiums)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Traxanakia<\/strong> \u2013 Linopetra High School, Limassol \u2013 2nd place in the Company of the Year 2025<\/li>\n<li><strong>NextStep<\/strong> \u2013 The English School, Nicosia \u2013 3rd place in the Company of the Year 2025<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roots<\/strong> \u2013 Bi-communal group of students from schools of our country<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The students from Cyprus stood out for the high level of their presentations, the team spirit and the ethos they demonstrated throughout the event, proving once again the dynamics of Junior Achievement&#8217;s business education programmes.<\/p>\n<p>The visit of the <strong>Consul of the Republic of Cyprus to Austria, Mr. Charalambos Stylianou<\/strong>, was a special honor, who visited the stands of the Cypriot teams and congratulated the students for their effort and creativity.<\/p>\n<p>The participation of Cypriot teams in the JA International Marketplace 2026 is an important opportunity for young people to develop skills such as entrepreneurial thinking, innovation, collaboration, and active citizenship. At the same time, it highlights the important work carried out by the teachers who implement the Junior Achievement programmes in schools.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the student teams won important awards and we are extremely proud. The student company <strong>Lemonaid of Engomi Gymnasium <\/strong>won the <strong><em>&#8216;Sustainability Award&#8217; <\/em><\/strong>and <strong>NextStep from the English School<\/strong> the &#8216;<strong><em>Build What Matters with Responsible AI&#8217; Award.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that when JA Cyprus started participating in European events, only two groups of students were traveling abroad. Today, for the <strong>2025\u20132026<\/strong> school year, a total <strong>of 11 groups of students, with more than 55 young people<\/strong>, will participate in European events and educational experiences abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Junior Achievement Cyprus would like to express its warm thanks to the Partners who have always supported its programmes and contribute to the creation of meaningful opportunities for the youth of Cyprus: <strong>ExxonMobil, Lidl Cyprus and the Research and Innovation Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information you can visit <a
