2025 Strategy and Vision

Malta was among the first countries to launch a national AI strategy in 2019, aiming to drive adoption, innovation, and economic growth while ensuring ethical principles. The strategy, which spanned up to the period 2030, achieved significant progress, however, rapid technological, regulatory and social changes necessitated a realignment of Malta’s vision for AI. The realigned strategy moves away from a technology-first approach, placing societal well-being and sustainability at its core. Public Consultation is now open.
