Malta Digital Skills and Jobs Platform (LISP)
Malta Digital Innovation Authority
The MDIA was established back in 2018 through the Malta Digital Innovation Authority Act, together with the Innovative Technology Arrangements and Services Act, that states what are the powers granted to the Authority.
The Authority serves a dual role. On the one hand, it is a regulator specifically focused on innovative technology and forms part of the entities strategically established in the Maltese ecosystem. On the other, it is also a promoter of innovative technologies. This is done through various incentives that are announced from time to time.
The Malta Digital Innovation Authority is the Maltese National Coalition for Digital Skills and Jobs.
We support the use and development of innovative technology in Malta through grants, programmes, research, and education. Through dihubmt, the MDIA also provides access to facilities, technology, and expertise.
The Authority works closely with non-profits and educational institutions to promote ethical standards and responsible innovation and leads a national digital skills education consortium, bringing together industry, government, and academia to build the digital skills Malta needs for the future.
Multi-sectoral partnerships
International best practises indicate that multi-sectoral partnerships are one of the key approaches in achieving synergy in the sustainable development of the right digital skills. The Malta Digital Innovation Authority was established by the Maltese Government to reflect this paradigm of inclusive synergy.
