The Innovation Exchange aims to promote innovation in Malta. This is achieved by creating meaningful dialogue within Malta’s innovation system to augment drivers of innovation and overcome barriers. As the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) provides a broad network of partners to mentoring and funding opportunities, by pairing the EIT’s Knowledge Innovation Community target areas with the core pillars and focus areas of Malta Vision2050, we can promote dialogue that is both highly effective and optimally relevant to the local context.
