Microsoft Malta has teamed up with Malta Enterprise to launch the new Microsoft BizSpark programme for business startups. Microsoft BizSpark is a global programme designed to help ICT startups grow into successful businesses through software support.

The collaboration was announced by Finance Minister Tonio Fenech, ME chairman Alan Camilleri and Microsoft’s country manager Pierre Mallia.

Mr Mallia said one of the purposes of the scheme was to encourage Maltese entrepreneurs thinking into starting an IT business to take the plunge. He said that the BizSpark programme will be made available to young companies and individuals building a software-based product or service who have been in business less than three years.

Mr Fenech said BizSpark complemented schemes launched by Malta Enterprise, including the €2.5m startup scheme funded by the EU.
