melita.io Sponsors Wales Week Malta 2025: Driving Digital Innovation and Strengthening Wales-Malta Ties

melita.io, a leading global connectivity provider, is excited to sponsor again Wales Week Malta. Following the success of last year’s event, this year’s edition promises to build even stronger connections between Wales and Malta, two island nations that share a rich cultural heritage, unique languages, and a deep-rooted spirit of innovation.

Collaborative Futures: Shaping Tomorrow Together

One of the standout events of Wales Week Malta 2025 is Collaborative Futures, taking place on 28th February at the FITA Building, Mrieħel. This event is more than just a conference, it’s a meeting of minds, bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to discuss practical solutions for independent living and healthy ageing. With both Wales and Malta facing similar challenges, the event will highlight the power of collaboration in overcoming them.

The programme is packed with engaging keynote speeches, expert panel discussions, and interactive showcases, all focused on game-changing technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and advancements in life sciences. Collaborative Futures is all about making innovation work for real people, fostering partnerships, and driving forward initiatives that will have a tangible impact on communities in both nations.

The Living Lab: Bringing Innovation to Life

Imagine a space where the latest technologies are tested in real-world scenarios, that’s the Living Lab. This panel will explore how these environments can shape national discussions and accelerate technology adoption in both Wales and Malta.

How IoT is Transforming Independent Living

From smart homes to wearable devices, IoT technology is making independent living easier and safer. This discussion will focus on how these innovations are enhancing the lives of older adults and people with disabilities, providing long-term support and reassurance for their families and carers.

Building on Success, Looking to the Future

• Workshops on cross-border networking, helping to foster new partnerships

By joining Wales Week Malta 2025, industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers will gain valuable insights, expand their networks, and experience first-hand the innovations shaping the future of independent living and digital connectivity.
