Dr. Angelos Menelaou, Head of the Department of Maritime Transport and Commerce, was a speaker at the 3rd Cyprus Yachting Conference, which brought together top minds in the local and international yachting industry.

Dr. Menelaou, Head of Frederick University's Department of Maritime Transport & Commerce, called for the creation of a forward-thinking yachting training center focused on sustainability, digital skills, and multicultural fluency, stressing that a clear business plan is essential - one that leverages economies of scale and garners government support - recognizing the sector’s potential to boost the economy through training exports and maritime employment.

By sharing his expertise in the maritime field, Dr. Menelaou emphasized the growing strength of Cyprus’ education sector in maritime business and management, posing an important question: why not lead in Marina and Yachting training as well?

Furthermore, he underscored the vision of building a sustainable educational ecosystem where government, educators, industry, and students collaborate, invest, and grow together.
