Description of the department/directorate/entity’s functions and responsibilities

Tech.mt was established in 2019 by the Government of Malta and the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry in a private-public partnership, with the aim of promoting Malta as a tech center for innovative technologies within industry verticals. It seeks to position Malta as the epicenter on both a quality and creative level, having a forward-thinking approach, with an inviting and supportive infrastructure.

Tech.mt focuses on promoting the country for its dynamic and thriving technology sector, backed by the country’s economic and financial stability and success. Besides increasing the value of the ICT Industry in Malta, this also positions the country as an attractive working destination within the European tech industry, thus attracting potential investment. Establishing Malta as a tech hub within Europe, also helps attract International Conferences that bring not only an influx of leaders, both corporate and industry, to our shores, but also reinforce Malta’s strength in the Tech Business. Tech.mt also invests its time and resources in promoting Malta with specific foreign Universities, as well as partnering up with local education institutions to ultimately improve the influx of professionals in the market.

Tech.mt’s strategy in this regard is to market Malta as a vibrant location for tech talent to attract human capital relocating to Malta in return. On a local level, Tech.mt is working closely with academic institutions to better understand how the local STEM and IT curricula can be improved and presented in a more attractive way to increase the number of students choosing them as a basis for their career in technology. A core pillar setting Tech.mt’s foundations is the assistance it provides to local tech companies in expanding their businesses both locally and abroad. It works on creating an ecosystem that allows companies to be exposed to opportunities on both a local and international level, while continuously exploring areas around the globe which the country can target for Foreign Direct Investment. Their main commitment lies in guiding tech companies in the right direction for long term, sustainable success. Through expert advice, solution driven services and a platform for participation in local and international events, Tech.mt strives to facilitate connections for businesses to expand or internationalise.

For further support, Tech.mt also provides companies assistance in enabling sales channels for exporting their Information and Communication Technologies abroad. Tech.mt recognises that the key to stay ahead of the game lies in the agility of recognising and implementing new innovative technologies. It follows companies along their journey to adopt these innovations and offers support and direction along the way.
