Information & Communication Technology (ICT)

The National Information & Communication Technology Strategy for Malta envisions Malta gearing up to become the ‘Smart Island’, a centre for ICT excellence. The strategy aims at developing frameworks to assist ICT start-ups in setting up their operation at low cost, preparing Malta for the next generation of technology by laying the foundations for a world class infrastructure, enhancing the adoption of e-business, and investing in the development of an ICT-geared workforce.
