The Malta Software & AI Market, 2026

Malta turned early regulatory clarity into a moat: its iGaming sector is roughly 9.6% of GDP, and it is now a MiCA passporting hub — Gemini chose Malta over Ireland for its EU headquarters. That density of licensed operators creates a deep, chronic shortage of software and compliance engineers, which is precisely where an outside build partner wins.
