Ministers Ian Borg and Miriam Dalli announced the launch of the drone innovation ecosystem through the first investment of its kind by the Malta Drone Center which will invest €500,000 and employ a number of professionals.
Over the last few years, Transport Malta, together with Malta Enterprise, have worked together to create an innovative ecosystem when it comes to drones and now Malta is taking the first step to serve as a new destination for this field. This is an opportunity for the Foreign Direct Investment Company as well as for Maltese ones to, among others, give training, test, as well as build drones in our country.
Drones may soon be flying above parts of the Hibs Football ground in Corradino as a result of a site access agreement signed on Tuesday between Malta Enterprise and Hibernians FC.
Through the agreement, parts of the stadium will be used for drone flying when it is not being used for football.
Transport Malta approved drone flying at the stadium and more sites could be announced later.
The Hibs stadium will also be usable by other companies approved by Malta Enterprise and Transport Malta.
The agreement with Hibs was announced during the announcement of a €500,000 investment in a drone innovation ecosystem by the Malta Drone Centre.
