As Malta gains momentum as a European tech hub, Grant Thornton is stepping up its capital advisory offering to support startups and investors navigating the country’s expanding innovation ecosystem.

With one AI startup for every 9,500 residents – significantly outpacing the US – Malta is attracting attention for its high-tech density, investor-friendly environment, and government-backed initiatives such as the Malta Startup Residence Programme.

Global and emerging companies including STMicroelectronics, Hotjar, and VAIOT have already established a presence on the island.

Recognising this trend, Grant Thornton is focusing its capital advisory capabilities on helping tech-focused businesses access the Maltese market and optimise their capital strategies. The firm’s services span regulatory compliance, capital structuring, fundraising strategy, and access to government incentives.

With Malta’s geographic advantage and growing reputation as a tech innovation hub, Grant Thornton sees increased demand for advisory services that help businesses and investors capitalise on the country's potential.
