The Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Research and Innovation, Keith Azzopardi Tanti, addressed the CTRL+ESC 2025 conference, a leading international digital event that brought together industry leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and technology professionals.
Recognised as one of the most prestigious platforms for Malta’s technology ecosystem, the conference provided an essential space for a growing digital community eager to collaborate, exchange ideas, and create new synergies between local talent and global innovation.
In his address, Parliamentary Secretary Azzopardi Tanti commended the efforts made to establish this platform, which enables professionals to engage in dialogue and share their insights. He noted that the event stands as a clear demonstration of Malta’s ambition to position itself at the heart of European digital innovation.
The Parliamentary Secretary emphasised that the CTRL+ESC conference represents more than a gathering of professionals; it is a statement of intent that Malta is prepared to lead, innovate, and remain at the forefront of the digital sector. Through initiatives such as this, Malta continues to strengthen its position as a connected, secure, and competitive nation.
He also outlined the objectives of Malta’s national strategy, Malta Vision 2050, which places digitalisation and innovation at the centre of the country’s social and economic policy. This vision promotes sustainable industries, smart governance, and modern education systems.
The CTRL+ESC conference reaffirmed this commitment by bringing together international leaders from companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and NVIDIA with a local community that embraces change and innovation.
This initiative contributes to a more connected Malta that is prepared for the future-where technology serves as a unifying force, builds trust, and inspires the confidence to innovate boldly. It represents another step forward towards a stronger economy and a sustainable future for the next generation.
