Parliamentary Secretary for Competitiveness and Economic Growth Edward Zammit Lewis carried out a keynote speech at the Exigy conference – Enabling Business Growth through Technology – an event which brought together CTOs, financial directors, and operation managers seeking to gain a better insight of the latest technology trends. 

“The government will be supporting events of this type as these serve as a showcase of business innovation, aimed at encouraging companies to invest in technology, viewing it as an investment, rather than an expense.

“We need to achieve economic growth that is realistic and sustainable; the government has to take measures to stimulate the economy and empower growth.

“Within this context, Malta will be developing a digital economy which is robust, modern and among the best globally, and which will foster sustainable economic growth, wealth and well-being for all.

“The digital economy will be in line with the government’s mandate and that of the EU,” he said.
