The Malta Gaming Authority is spearheading a coordinated showcase of the jurisdiction's gaming ecosystem at ICE Barcelona 2026, marking a strategic shift toward presenting Malta's regulatory framework as part of a fully integrated business environment.
Under the 'Make it in Malta' banner, the MGA will be joined by GamingMalta, Identità, Malta Enterprise, and Bank of Valletta to demonstrate how licensing, regulation, investment support, visa services, and banking converge within the Mediterranean jurisdiction.
The coordinated presence represents Malta's evolution from showcasing individual regulatory strengths to highlighting operational synergies across the gaming value chain. The initiative targets operators seeking comprehensive jurisdictional support rather than fragmented services.
"Our aim is to continue positioning Malta as the jurisdiction of choice for operators who value stability, clarity, and long-term partnership. Through this coordinated presence, we are demonstrating the strength of our ecosystem and our commitment to supporting sustainable growth across the industry."
— Charles Mizzi, CEO of the MGA
