DELTA Summit gets down to business today. DELTA Summit is a platform showcasing the future. It brings together several experts and entrepreneurs in the fields of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, as well as cognitive technologies like Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. It also provides a platform for the snowballing esports market.

Companies big and small display their product and merchandise to interested clients, industry hopefuls looking for fresh ideas and potential investors.

With the convenience of the future being under one roof, discussions and panels can engage in fruitful debate and exchange of ideas. It also serves to promote Malta as a pioneering destination for disruptive technology.

In 2018, Malta led the charge in regulating the blockchain industry and is now well on its way to regulating new technology niches falling under the digital innovation sector. This presented an opportunity for organising the first official blockchain conference in Malta in 2018.

This year, the DELTA brand will be expanding its remit to Artificial Intelligence, esports and the Internet of Things besides blockchain and cryptocurrency.

With the launch of the public consultation on an AI strategy, Malta is positioning itself as a hub for emerging technology companies seeking to establish themselves and to develop and innovate.

The DELTA Summit is a perfectly conducive environment for this to happen.

The 2019 DELTA Summit, the second edition since its beginning, will take place at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali over three days and will feature speakers from various stakeholders: from the Prime Minister of Malta, Joseph Muscat, to other policymakers and business developers.

This year will see several panels discuss technical concepts on tokens—virtual currency—especially in the context of the gaming market, the re-imagining of the tourism industry with technology and the future of gaming.

The semi-controversial 5G will also be the subject of a keynote speech as will the applications of AI in the telecommunications industry.

The question of what the next industrial revolution is and what it’s likely to bring about will also be addressed.
