About Malta
An EU Memberstate
Situated in the middle of the Mediterranean. The nation’s history, and culture, have been uniquely enriched by successive foreign occupiers. The official languages in Malta are English, and Maltese. The island’s thriving expat scene is a result of its attractive career prospects, and inimitable way of life. Malta’s storied past is testament to its enduring position as a multicultural stronghold. In essence, Malta is the ideal cosmopolitan village.
A Historical Goldmine
Owing to its location at the intersection of various regional powers. Its history dates back seven millennia; much of it still existent, most notably, the Megalithic Temples, which are the world’s oldest free-standing structures, the Mediaeval city of Mdina, and the nation’s capital, Valletta. All three have garnered UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Malta’s history, like its culture, is a fine tapestry, thousands of years in the making.
Building on already firm foundations
including tourism, iGaming, manufacturing and financial services, Malta’s economy is diversifying into AI, Big Data, IoT, and DLTs, niche sectors in which Malta could position itself as a world leader. The aviation industry is taking off; apart from the established MRO and engineering niches, the UAV industry is also shaping into a new exciting sector. Malta is also targeting the budding Medical Cannabis sector while its sunny climate has also cemented itself as a favourite for the now expanding digital games and digital creativity markets.
