Enterprise considers both the digital games and the AI niches as central upcoming industries that are in perfect tune with the type of economic growth that Malta wants to attract. We are encouraged by modl.ai choosing to advance part of their RDI from their Malta-outpost. Malta Enterprise ascertains modl.ai and similar companies, including innovative start-ups, that our promise of support will not be limited to the initial steps but that we will be present all the way to translate their trust into tangible achievemen­ts for the company and also for their expanding Malta-based team.”

Malta has shown to be incredibly adept at attracting talent at the intersecti­ons of artificial intelligen­ce, video game developmen­t and creative industries. By expanding in Malta, we gain access to a wide talent pool, highly relevant national collaborat­ions, and most importantl­y, we can meet our customers where they are.”
