Leading representatives of Malta’s digital games industry have come together to announce the launch of the Malta Digital Games Association (MDGA).  This is a long-time project of Maltese law firm Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates and a number of digital games players which the firm advises in Malta.

The launch of the MDGA was held on December 1, and  was inaugurated by Minister for the Economy, Investment and Small Business Christian Cardona and Parliament-ary Sectary for Gaming Jose’ Herrera, with managing partner of the firm, Dr Jean-Philippe Chetcuti, moderating the event. Nick Porsche of Dorado Games (now the chairman of the MDGA) gave a detailed briefing about the association.

The MDGA launch emphasised that the newly-formed association is an industry body aimed at promoting cooperation among digital games industry leaders in Malta, educating the public ­regarding digital games, and making Malta more attractive as an international digital gaming hub.

The Malta Digital Games Association was spearheaded by eight founding members, namely Chetcuti Cauchi Advocates, 4A Games, Bigpoint, Codemasters, Dorado Games, Exient, Karma Holdings and Play Magic.

This initiative is in line with the government’s strategy to make Malta an ICT hub.
