Cyprus has a 'brain gain' plan

Business Daily

Available for over a year

We look at how the European country is trying to lure talent back home. It is specifically targeting people from science, technology, engineering and innovation sectors, using tax breaks and a campaign to remind people about the benefits of returning. A number of countries are bringing in similar initiatives, so is it forward thinking? Or will it create a two-tier system? Produced and presented by Daniel Rosney (Picture: Two women relax in a waterfront cafe during the day in the Mediterranean port of Limassol, Cyrpus. Credit: Getty Images)
