"Culture is not something you can try to control. It is a living organism." 🍽️

Fourteen years ago, ToPatrikon began as a small souvlatzidiko in the front yard of the Fokou family's home in Tersefanou.

Today, it has evolved into one of Cyprus' most distinctive contemporary restaurants, where seasonal tasting menus celebrate local producers, traditional ingredients and a cuisine that continues to evolve.

In the first episode of The Future Makers: The Business of Kitchen, Annetta Benzar speaks with Stavros and Kiriakos Fokou about building a family business, choosing to stay in a village, and why preserving a food culture sometimes means allowing it to change.

Building a great product isn't enough. Distribution matters just as much.

In the first episode of The Future Makers: The Legal Brief, host Annetta Benzar speaks with Violetta about launching Formulaw, navigating the realities of legal tech, why innovation alone doesn't guarantee success, and what every founder should think about before bringing a product to market.

Can one place ever define who you are? 🌍

Sophia Papastavrou doesn't think so. "Identity is negotiated. Not a given."

Sophia Papastavrou, a gender equality and humanitarian leader at World Vision Canada, has spent more than a decade advancing gender equality and peacebuilding in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. Raised across Greece, the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Cyprus and Canada, she reflects on belonging, migration, inherited memory, and why identity is shaped by both our roots and the journeys we take.

In the latest episode of The Future Makers: Women Building Cyprus, Annetta Benzar sits down with Sophia to discuss identity, motherhood, peacebuilding, and why meaningful change begins when we stop working in silos.

What experience has shaped your identity the most?
