As part of its National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Cyprus has launched a government-backed challenge inviting proposals for an AI-powered early warning system. The initiative seeks to enhance preparedness for extreme weather events by leveraging real-time environmental data and predictive analytics. Targeted outcomes include improved decision-making and support for both the general public and specific sectors like agriculture.

The challenge is funded under a broader national effort to accelerate digital transformation in the public sector, with a focus on applied AI solutions, data infrastructure, and cross-sector resilience. It reflects Cyprus’s growing interest in tech-enabled governance – and in fostering a more proactive approach to climate-related risk.
