Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri addressed over 60 investors from the gaming and emerging technology sectors at the SiGMA VIP Gozo Experience at the Innovation Hub in Xewkija.
This was the first collaboration of its kind between the SiGMA Group and the Ministry for Gozo and Planning through InvestGozo. The Affiliate Retreat was also held between 28th and 30th August and hosted 50 high-level affiliate leaders. These are individuals who build online communities, shape the consumer journey, and generate millions in visits and revenue.
Both activities served to encourage several investors to show interest in the potential of considering Gozo for future business initiatives, especially given the strong digital infrastructure system and the quality of life that Gozo offers. Furthermore, all national level incentives are also available in Gozo, including island-specific incentives.
Minister Clint Camilleri stated that, “The Government has invested substantially in recent years to prepare the island to attract quality investment in the digital and innovative sectors. Clear examples of this are the Innovation Hub, the installation of a second fibre optic cable, and other initiatives related to lifestyle and connectivity, such as the Gozo Sports and Aquatics Pavilion, the extension of the fast ferry service, and the development of the Gozo airfield.”
The Gozitan lifestyle, climate, nature, sea, as well as the great economic and infrastructural leaps that this Government has made in Gozo are all crucial in attracting this type of investment. Camilleri went on to explain that it was natural for the Ministry to join and cooperate with SiGMA to promote Gozo as a global centre for investment. Collaboration was also made with Malta Enterprise and Gaming Malta which are two key government entities that offer guidance and support with regard to foreign investment in our country.
Minister Camilleri endedby thanking SiGMA, Malta Enterprise, Gaming Malta, the management of the Gozo Innovation Hub and the InvestGozo team within the Ministry for their efforts in making this activity a success and looking forward to further global investment in the island of Gozo.
