Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Malta Enterprise Corporation?

CEO George Gregory leads Malta Enterprise, having been appointed in September 2024. He reports to Chairman William Wait and operates under the oversight of the Maltese Ministry for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects. The prior CEO, Kurt Farrugia, served until 2024.

Is Malta Enterprise Corporation a sovereign wealth fund, a development agency, or a venture firm?

It operates as a hybrid. Malta Enterprise is a government-owned corporation that manages industrial real estate — including the Life Sciences Park, Safi Aviation Park, Kordin Business Incubation Centre, and Mosta Technopark — while also making direct equity investments through its Malta Venture Capital Fund. It is not a sovereign wealth fund; its capital is tied to government budgeting and EU structural funds rather than commodity surpluses.

What sectors does Malta Enterprise prioritize?

The entity's real estate and investment activity clusters around life sciences and pharmaceuticals (via the Malta Life Sciences Park), aviation and aerospace (Safi Aviation Park), digital technology and AI (in partnership with the Malta Digital Innovation Authority), and general advanced manufacturing. It does not publicly list excluded sectors, but its served parks indicate a clear industrial-technology bias.

Does Malta Enterprise co-invest with private venture capital firms?

The Malta Venture Capital Fund is structured to take equity stakes, and public record indicates the entity works alongside external co-investors on growth-stage deals. Specific fund partners are not systematically disclosed, but Malta Enterprise's role as the Enterprise Europe Network national contact point facilitates co-investment matchmaking across EU member states.

How is Malta Enterprise related to the Maltese government?

Malta Enterprise Corporation is fully owned by the Government of Malta and sits under the Ministry for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects. Its board is government-appointed, and its mandate — both investment and real-estate development — is set by national industrial policy rather than independent fiduciary duty.
