Advancing Data Engineering Excellence in Cyprus
Building the future of data infrastructure through comprehensive education and industry-leading expertise in enterprise data systems.
Return HomeOur Story
Founded in 2019 by data engineering veterans from Amazon, Google, and Netflix, DataPipe Systems emerged from a critical gap in the European data engineering education landscape.
Our founding team recognized that while cloud technologies and big data frameworks were rapidly evolving, traditional educational institutions struggled to keep pace with industry demands. Having built petabyte-scale data platforms serving millions of users, we understood the specific skills gap facing organizations attempting digital transformation.
Establishing our headquarters in Cyprus provided strategic access to European markets while maintaining cost-effective operations. Our proximity to emerging tech hubs in the Eastern Mediterranean allows us to serve enterprises across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa with localized expertise.
Today, we have trained over 500 data engineers working at companies like Revolut, Spotify, Booking.com, and numerous fintech startups across the region. Our curriculum continuously evolves based on real-world feedback from our graduate network and industry advisory board.
