Minister for Tourism Konrad Mizzi and parliament­ary secretary for Financial Services, Digital Economy and Innovation Silvio Schembri welcome the announceme­nt that THU will be hosting their main event in Valletta in September.

THU hosts one of the largest events within 3D, VFX, Games and Concept Art Industries and offers a unique, once in a lifetime experience for creatives, entreprene­urs and artists to network, learn and create in this six-day festival.

Minister Mizzi said: “We are pleased THU has chosen Malta for its internatio­nal events. We have worked with THU for the past months to ensure the event will be a success.”

Schembri commented: “We welcome the news that Malta is the new home for THU an event of internatio­nal repute in the digital creative sector. From our initial meeting with the THU founders in September 2017 and the continued efforts led by my ministry, we are now seeing this initiative come to life. THU will not only be a vital part of Malta's digital creative ecosystem but will also add impetus to our vision in continuing to enhance the digital creative and gaming industries in its broadest spectrum while putting innovation, education and attracting talent at the forefront of our efforts."

Attracting this special event to our shores is an integral part of government’s drive to turn Malta into a global creative hub.
