The foundation stone of SmartCity is to be laid on Tuesday, November 25, IT Minister Austin Gatt told Parliament this evening.

He said this was the biggest foreign investment that Malta had ever seen, an IT township which would employ in excess of 6,000 people.

Earlier this year MEPA approved the building of the first phase of the project which will feature three office blocks which will take 1,500 employees. Another four units will house shops, restaurants and commercial services as well as a hotel and residential accommodation.
