Malta Cloud Forum

Malta Cloud Forum

The objective of the Malta Cloud Forum is to facilitate the uptake of cloud computing, particularly by micro organisations and SMEs. The forum’s ambition is thus to help increase and diffuse cloud awareness and create an innovative local culture that supports, embraces, and benefits from cloud computing.

The MCF regularly conducts studies of the local market with regard to the adoption of the cloud model by businesses, together with the issues and challenges that come along with the implementation of the cloud. Subsequently, the MCF addresses the identified matters resulting out of the studies through a number of different means including the provision of information sessions and training.

The MCF is a vendor neutral forum that aims to give space to as much cloud service players as possible, with the aim of inducing a network where cloud service providers and customers can engage and develop successful business relationships. The forum organises various events associated with cloud computing and continuously participates in a number of cloud, ecommerce, and general IT third-party events.
