Malta, an archipelago located in the central Mediterranean Sea, boasts a population of approximately 520,000 people densely distributed across an area of just over 246 square kilometres. This high population density has led to a highly developed and robust telecommunications infrastructure. Malta's unique geographical constraints, being an island nation, have necessitated innovative solutions such as undersea cables for international telecommunications links. Malta's telecommunications sector is mature, with near-universal broadband and mobile phone coverage, and competitive services provided by multiple operators. The country is also investing significantly in renewable energy technologies, with a target of 100% of total energy production from renewable sources by 2050. The technology sector is advanced with a strong focus on innovation, particularly in the fields of ICT, gaming, health technologies, and maritime services.
