Developing Cyprus Tech Talent
Since 2018
CodeForge Academy was founded to address the growing demand for skilled software engineers in Cyprus and the broader European market through comprehensive, industry-focused education.
Visit HomepageOur Foundation Story
CodeForge Academy emerged from a collaboration between experienced software engineers who recognized Cyprus's potential as a European tech hub. Founded in 2018 by industry veterans from companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and local Cyprus fintech firms, we identified a critical gap between university computer science education and industry requirements.
Our founders spent years mentoring junior developers and noticed consistent patterns: bright graduates struggled with real-world application of theoretical knowledge, modern development practices, and industry-standard tools. Traditional education wasn't preparing students for the collaborative, fast-paced environment of professional software development.
We established CodeForge Academy with a clear mission: bridge this gap through hands-on, practical education that mirrors actual software development workflows. Our campus in Nicosia serves as a modern learning environment equipped with the same tools and technologies used by leading tech companies worldwide.
