The third edition of the Startup Festival will be held between the 5th and 6th of October 2023, at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre (MFCC) and the adjacent park in Ta’ Qali, Malta.

Apart from keynote talks by headline international guests and thought-provoking panels this year we shall be adding tailor-made practical workshops. Our expanded exhibition space will embody the vision for an event which is coming of age, while our mindfulness area shall seek to offer an experience that appeals to both mind and body. The festival will once more offer a matchmaking opportunity for startups and scaleups looking at raising funds via local and international business angels and VCs.

For the first time we will also have our own pitch competition – named ‘Pitch Black’ which aims to shine a light on you and your MVPs prospects. Here founders will present their accomplishments and vision to a professional panel of judges, and compete for a final awards service package. Additionally, during both days of the festival, Malta Enterprise will also be launching its brand new podcast ‘Business Matters’.
