About the Festival

Malta Enterprise has been leading the national ecosystem for startups. For the past years ME has been organising the Start Up Café, but this year we decided to go big! It is a celebration of our ecosystem and the 20th Anniversary of the Kordin Business Incubation Centre (KBIC) which provided a launchpad for various startups and today boasts several success stories.

Join us for the Startup Festival between 11th and 13th November for this celebration featuring three themed stages: Sustainability, Digitalisation & Innovation. The festival hosts various workshops, inspirational talks, a networking atmosphere and our StartUp Route!

This Route will take you to the route of startups and businesses who will be exhibiting their story as well as you can meet our startup support team from Business First who will be able to guide you and assist you on the spot.
