🇨🇾 Cyprus: AI-named company formations by year (2026 projected)
New AI-named companies per year of incorporation. The 2026 bar is solid for companies already formed and lighter for the projected remainder at the Jan-to-May 2026-vs-2025 pace. Dashed lines mark major AI model releases.
🇨🇾 Cyprus: AI as a share of all new companies
Because we hold Cyprus's full register, we can show AI-named companies as a share of all new formations, which controls for the general pace of company formation. It rose from 0.082% in 2022 to 0.345% in 2025, a 4.2x increase.
AI-named formations in Cyprus jumped 2.3x in a single year from 2022 to 2023, the clearest local fingerprint of the post-ChatGPT shift (ChatGPT launched November 2022).

- Source: the Cyprus national company register, current to 2026-05-21.
- An "AI-named company" is one whose registered name signals AI. Every candidate is classified by a language-aware model to remove false positives (for example estate agents, or words that merely contain the letters "AI").
- Where we hold the full register, AI is also shown as a share of all formations, which controls for the country's overall formation trend.
- 2026 is projected from the Jan-to-May 2026-vs-2025 pace applied to 2025; it is an estimate, not a forecast.
- Absolute counts are not comparable across countries (registers differ in what they count); the growth multiple and, where available, the share are the portable measures.
