The Malta Communications Authority (MCA) and the University of Malta have launched a joint collaboration aimed at stimulating and supporting initiatives that bridge the gap between research, innovation and entrepreneurship in fields related to communication technologies and their applications.
The MCA Take-Off Award will be supporting two local start-ups to develop an innovative business idea with a view to eventual commercialisation. Under the scheme the MCA will be making available a seed fund of up to €40,000. The University will be hosting the start-ups at its campus-based Take-Off Business Incubator.
Take-Off will be holding a workshop on the skills and tools needed to create a competitive proposal.
Individuals or start-ups interested in submitting a proposal under the MCA Take-Off Award may download details from www.takeoff.org.mt.
