Malta AI & Blockchain Summit: Spring Edition 2019 | SIGMA | 22 May 2019 | Hilton Malta, Vjal Portomaso St Julian's PTM, 01, Malta

2018 was the year Malta cemented itself as The Blockchain Island with the launch of three bills during the Malta AI & Blockchain Summit last November.

In 2019, the Blockchain & A.I. Nation is moving beyond the hype. The Maltese Government will enact a world first: a fourth bill, giving a D.A.O. its own legal personality. In addition, a task force is also working around the clock on a set of incentives that will support businesses in Artificial Intelligence.

We would like to invite you – stakeholders in AI, Big Data, Blockchain, IoT and Quantum Technologies – to join us and engage in riveting discussions about the world changing potential application of such technologies.

Save the dates. All eyes are on the Malta AI & Blockchain Summit.
