A big and warm thank you
On behalf of the Cryos team, we deeply thank you all for attending the Cryos Symposium 2021. It means a lot to everyone at Cryos to be able to meet clients, partners, and customers to have engaging conversations about the field of ART. Whether you attended physically or virtually, we hope that you enjoyed yourself, acquired new knowledge, and perhaps made a new acquaintance or two. We look forward with excitement to seeing you next time.
All the best,

Highlight video
The opening of the first Cryos Egg Bank in Europe
Aside from hosting the 2021 symposium, we were also very proud and excited to open the first European Cryos egg bank. The egg bank opened in Nicosia, Cyprus and is the second egg bank to be opened by Cryos after the opening of our egg bank in the US.
“I am immensely proud that Cryos is now able to use our existing egg bank expertise from the US in helping even more women receive treatment with donor eggs of the Cryos high quality standard from our new location in Cyprus. I am very thankful to everyone who welcomed Cryos in Cyprus, to our customers, our employees, and to the Ministry of Health in Cyprus” – Helle Myrthue Sejersen, CEO of Cryos International.
“We are thrilled to open the first Cryos egg bank in Europe and we plan to get the most out of this new expansion. Cyprus is known for very high standards within the field of fertility treatment which was one of the deciding factors for Cryos to choose Cyprus as location for the new egg bank. We are looking forward to offering high quality donor eggs in accordance with the highest standards while also helping the local economic growth in Nicosia with new job opportunities for local experts” – Saghar Kasiri, Director of European Operations at Cryos International.
