Ο γενικός στόχος της συνεργασίας είναι η πραγματοποίηση κοινών δράσεων σε θέματα Έρευνας, Ανάπτυξης και Καινοτομίας από το Τμήμα Πληροφορικής του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου και την FMT. Η Συμφωνία προνοεί επίσης τοποθετήσεις φοιτητών του Τμήματος στην εταιρεία FMT για πρακτική εξάσκηση σε θέματα Ασφάλειας Διαδικτύου. Η συνεργασία στηρίζεται στις υψηλού επιπέδου δυνατότητες για έρευνα και τεχνολογία του Πανεπιστημίου Κύπρου και στην υποστήριξη που πρόσφερε ο Κυπριακός Οργανισμός Προώθησης Επενδύσεων στις προσπάθειες της Αυστραλιανής εταιρείας στην Κύπρο. Η FMT μέσα από το Γραφείο της στην Κύπρο παρέχει υπηρεσίες σε πελάτες της εταιρείας τόσο στην Ευρώπη, όσο και στις ΗΠΑ και στην περιοχή Ασίας-Ειρηνικού.

Η συμφωνία εντάσσεται στην στρατηγική του Τμήματος Πληροφορικής για ενίσχυση της συνεργασίας και ανταλλαγών με καινοτόμες εταιρείες Πληροφορικής στην Κύπρο και το εξωτερικό. Απώτερος στόχος είναι η προσέλκυση εταιρειών υψηλής τεχνολογίας στην Κύπρο και η ανάπτυξη της απασχόλησης σε εξαγωγικούς τομείς υψηλής προστιθέμενης αξίας σε θέματα Τεχνολογιών Πληροφορικής και Επικοινωνιών. Η εν λόγω συμφωνία αυτή δύναται να έχει πολλά θετικά αποτελέσματα τόσο για το Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου όσο και για την Κύπρο γενικότερα, καθώς τα μακροπρόθεσμα οικονομικά οφέλη μέσα από την αναδυόμενη τεχνολογία της εταιρείας FMT στο χώρο της ασφάλειας δεδομένων αναμένεται να είναι πολύ μεγάλα.
