The Soulmates Ventures team attended the Reflect Festival 2025 in Limassol, Cyprus-an event that has rapidly become the region’s flagship gathering for startups, investors, and technology leaders. This year’s festival, hosted at the vibrant Kolla Factory, drew thousands of attendees from across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, solidifying Cyprus’ reputation as a rising global tech hub.
A key highlight for our team was engaging with startups from diverse backgrounds, many of which focused on innovative sustainability solutions. The Future Stage, in particular, was a hub of discussion on climate-tech, healthtech, renewable energy, and the future of sustainable urban living.
We were especially proud to see our Investment Director, Michal Sikyta take the stage as a jury member for the festival’s inaugural Doers Pitch-a high-energy, competition where emerging startups pitched their boldest ideas to a jury of seasoned investors. This event not only showcased the region’s most promising ideas but also showcased Soulmates Ventures’ ongoing commitment to supporting early-stage innovation and sustainable business models.
Reflect Festival’s unique ecosystem brought together over 300 startups and 200+ investors, creating countless opportunities for meaningful conversations and potential collaborations. Our team participated in several side events, from exclusive investor gatherings to sector-specific workshops and informal meetups along Limassol’s beautiful coastline. These moments allowed us to deepen relationships, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities in a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere.
We look forward to nurturing these new relationships and continuing our mission to drive sustainable growth and investment across the region.
