GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

Your digital investment
may qualify for
government funding.

Eligible Maltese SMEs may be able to access government support for qualifying digital transformation investments. Malta Digital helps you navigate what's available and prepare your project professionally.

🔍
Understand what's available
We help you identify which government incentive schemes may apply to your proposed project, based on your business size, sector, and the type of investment you're making.
📋
Prepare a professional technical specification
Government funding applications require detailed technical documentation. We produce a comprehensive project specification designed to present your investment credibly and completely.
🏗️
Structure your project for scheme requirements
We help design your project scope, investment structure, and delivery timeline to align with the requirements of relevant funding schemes — maximising the strength of your application.
🚀
Deliver a world-class result
Whether or not funding is approved, we deliver exceptional work. Our projects are built to the same standard regardless — because the quality of the outcome is what drives your business forward.
Important Note
Malta Digital is not a government body and does not process, approve, or guarantee funding applications. Funding approval is determined entirely by the relevant government authorities and is subject to eligibility criteria that we cannot control. Our role is to design and deliver world-class digital transformation projects — and to help you present those projects professionally to the authorities. We recommend consulting a licensed financial advisor for formal guidance on grant applications.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know
before you book.

Straightforward answers to the questions Maltese business owners ask us every week.

Eligibility depends on the specific scheme and your business profile. Generally, Maltese-registered SMEs with fewer than 250 employees and annual turnover under €50 million may be eligible for various digital transformation incentives. Eligibility is always determined by the relevant government authority — not by Malta Digital. We help you understand the landscape and present your project professionally. The free consultation is the right place to start exploring whether your business could qualify.

Support levels vary significantly between schemes and depend on your project scope, business size, and sector. Support can range from partial tax credits on qualifying expenditure to direct co-funding of a percentage of project costs. We cannot quote specific amounts because funding terms change and eligibility is assessed case by case. What we can do is help you understand the options available for your type of project and support you in preparing the strongest possible application documentation.

No — and any company that makes such a claim is misleading you. Funding decisions rest entirely with the relevant government bodies. Our role is to design and deliver excellent projects, and to help you present them as professionally and completely as possible when applying for support. Many of our clients have successfully accessed government support for their projects, but we make no promises about approval. The investment in your business makes sense regardless — the potential funding simply improves the return.

For straightforward projects — a website, a booking system, or a CRM setup — we typically go from brief to live in 24–72 hours. More complex transformations involving custom software, AI integrations, or multi-system workflows are typically delivered within 2–6 weeks. The funding application process runs on government timelines, which vary. We design the project and begin delivery independently — if funding is later approved, it can offset costs already incurred. We don't make you wait for a government decision before getting started.

Project costs depend entirely on scope. A professional conversion-optimised website starts from €1,500. A full transformation project — including AI chatbot, CRM, automation, and client portal — might sit between €8,000 and €25,000. We price every project transparently after the business audit, with no hidden extras. Government funding can reduce the net investment significantly for qualifying projects. The free consultation gives us enough information to provide a realistic range before you commit to anything.

We build practical AI implementations that solve real business problems — not technology demonstrations. This means AI chatbots trained on your specific services, pricing, and processes; AI-powered CRM tools that score and prioritise leads automatically; natural language automation that handles client communication in Maltese and English; intelligent scheduling systems that optimise appointment slots; and document processing tools that extract and organise information automatically. Everything is built around your actual workflows, not generic templates.

Yes. All projects include a 30-day support period after launch. Beyond that, we offer ongoing maintenance and support packages on a monthly basis for businesses that want continued assistance — updates, new features, technical support, and performance optimisation. You are never locked in. You own your systems, your code, your data. If you ever decide to move on, we ensure a clean and complete handover. Most of our clients choose to continue working with us because the results keep improving.

Security and GDPR compliance are non-negotiable requirements in every project we deliver. All systems are built with encryption, access controls, and audit trails. Client data stays within compliant infrastructure. For businesses in regulated industries — healthcare, legal, financial services — we build specifically to their sector's compliance requirements. We produce the privacy documentation and data processing agreements your business needs as part of project delivery, not as an afterthought.
