We are proud to announce that SENSSOS, a CYENS spin-off, has been selected as one of the winning teams of the Startups4Peace 2025 Pitch Competition, organised by eunite Cyprus.

The final pitch event took place in the UN Buffer Zone in Nicosia, bringing together innovative founders and forward-looking startup ideas from across the island. As one of the selected teams, SENSSOS now embarks on the next phase of the programme, which includes the opportunity to attend SLUSH 2025, one of the world’s leading startup events.

Throughout the Startups4Peace programme, the SENSSOS team participated in two intensive bootcamps, receiving mentorship, validation, and hands-on guidance to further refine their vision and strengthen their impact-driven approach.

This milestone reflects SENSSOS’ continued commitment to innovation, growth, and the development of solutions with meaningful societal impact.

We also extend a special acknowledgement to Styliani Petroudi, Head of Innovation at CYENS Centre of Excellence, who participated as a member of the jury panel, supporting emerging entrepreneurs shaping Cyprus’ innovation ecosystem.

Congratulations to SENSSOS and to all participating teams, and sincere thanks to the organisers, mentors, and partners who made this programme possible.
