With a drop from 50.2% in 2023, to 49.5% in 2024, Cyprus scores below EU average (55.56%) measuring basic digital skills. According to the Digital Decade report 2025, in Cyprus ICT specialists account for 5.0% of total employment, matching the EU average in 2024. The country is on track according to its national trajectory even though this percentage is down falling a negative growth rate compared to the previous year. The share of women ICT specialists in Cyprus remained stable (23.6% in 2023 and 23.7% in 2024), and higher than the EU average in both years (19.4% and 19.5%). However, the growth rate of 0.4% is slightly lower than the EU’s 0.5%. Cyprus has made remarkable progress in gigabit connectivity infrastructure but continues to face challenges in closing the digital skills gap between different segments of the population. Nonetheless, the country can count on a relatively good share of ICT specialists in employment.

The Cyprus National Digital Decade strategic roadmap developed by the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy of Cyprus sets out the strategic goals to be achieved by 2030, monitoring their achievement, and the target paths and key measures have been developed.
