About HATCH
Growth through focus.
HATCH is a startup incubator in Malta, run by B2BMALTA Ltd. Every business has a core. We help early-stage founders focus on it, with access to tools, knowledge and resources that expedite growth.
Our Story
Turning barriers into stepping stones.
The morning panels at The Innovation Exchange 2025, Villa Arrigo.
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.
So we give founders the tools, knowledge and networks they need to thrive: expert guidance, market insights and strong connections across European innovation ecosystems. That leaves them free to focus on what matters most, building and scaling their ideas.
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 programme is open all year to early-stage founders with traction, and includes a place at The Innovation Exchange.
