Growth Through

Focus.

Every business has a core. We help founders focus on this core by providing access to tools, knowledge, and resources that expedite growth.

We work with founders to augment innovation drivers and alleviate innovation barriers.

At HATCH, we believe innovation flourishes when entrepreneurs are freed from the obstacles that hold them back. Too often, startups and SMEs struggle with limited resources, regulatory hurdles, access to talent, and the risks of scaling into wider markets. Our mission is to turn these barriers into stepping stones.

We give founders the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to thrive. From expert guidance and market insights to strong connections across European innovation ecosystems, we help startups focus on what matters most: building and scaling their ideas.

We also design our programmes to amplify the drivers of innovation — fostering collaboration across industries and research, creating structured opportunities for co-creation, investment readiness, and cross-border partnerships. Whether it’s unlocking financing, navigating regulation, or attracting the right skills, we stand beside founders to make growth not just possible, but sustainable.

For Malta, innovation isn’t just an opportunity — it’s essential to building a competitive, resilient economy and a thriving ecosystem. HATCH exists as a contribution to making that vision real.

Our values are guiding principles...

Innovation

Is the essential component that will drive sustainable economic growth; fostering it creates a material social benefit.

Collaboration

Human diversity is a  feature, not a bug. Having a broad network brings in a variety of skills, knowledge and views that facilitates progress.

Integrity

We believe in what we do and make sure that every part of what we do is transparent and well-integrated to achieve our mission.

Empowerment

The hardest part of the entrepreneurial journey is the founding (especially after failure). Empower founders with the right tools, skills and knowedge and their drive will make growth a certainty. 

Impact

Our final goal is to create positive impact, both in our support systems, and in the projects we involve ourselves with. 

How does Innovation come about?

Innovation thrives when the right conditions are in place. Research shows that progress is fuelled by strong networks, access to capital, a skilled workforce, supportive policy, and a culture that embraces experimentation. Collaboration across industries and disciplines multiplies opportunities for new ideas. Entrepreneurial mindsets, coupled with enabling technologies and infrastructure, create the spark that transforms challenges into scalable solutions.

At HATCH, we see these drivers as the levers of growth. By amplifying them, we help founders and innovators accelerate their journey from concept to market impact.
