Malta ICT, Internet & Communications Law

With the 2004 National ICT Strategy turning into the National Information & Communication Technology Strategy Plan in 2010, Malta further reaffirmed its position as Europe’s ‘Smart Island’, a centre for ICT excellence. Malta aims at developing frameworks to assist ICT start-ups in setting up their operation at low cost, placing the island in the right position for the next generation of technology. This strategy has laid the fundamentals for a world class infrastructure, increased the reception of e-business by the general public, and focused on the development of an ICT-geared human capital. The result: Malta becoming a centre for technology and internet based companies to set up shop within our shores, with the confidence that the island has embarked on this project with the necessary ‘can-do’ spirit.
