Finance Malta is organising its 12th annual conference on June 5 and 6 at the Hilton Conference Centre, St Julian’s. The conference is set to deliver an interesting and informative two-day event that will provide delegates with networking opportunities, market insights, and updates on developments within the local and international financial services sector.
Titled ‘Malta: A Platform for Innovation’, the conference and networking event will include sessions on the innovation that is driving the sector forward, such as fintech and AI, and will also touch upon important issues that arose due to this innovation such as cybercrime.
A number of case studies will also be presented, focusing on setting up a business in Malta and what it entails for a foreign national, giving further insight into people’s experiences with financial services in Malta.
Chaired by Federica Taccogna from FTI Consulting, the conference will feature select local and international experts who will address delegates on contemporary and current topics affecting the financial services industry. A select panel of speakers will be sharing their expertise throughout the conference.
On June 5, eve of the conference, a networking event will be held, providing delegates, guests and speakers with the opportunity to network prior to attending the business and finance conference the following day.
MDX moves to MSE
Malta Digital Exchange (MDX) has moved its expanding operations to the Malta Stock Exchange premises, ahead of the launch of its digital exchange division. A company statement said the relocation of its offices demonstrates its commitment to building the world’s premier security token and virtual financial asset exchanges at the financial epicentre of one of the world’s most forward-thinking blockchain jurisdictions.
MDX facilitates regulated trading of virtual financial assets under the definitions of Malta’s VFA Act and is in the process of obtaining a securities licence to operate a multilateral trading facility which will introduce a secondary market for the trading of digital securities.
MDX will leverage leading global fintech firm Paritech’s Parichain technology, designed for professional, high volume B2B clients. Paritech specialises in the development and integration of low-touch, low-cost stock market brokerage systems and was founded along with Australia’s largest independent trading platform by a trading volume of over AU$50 billion per annum, by MDX founder and executive chairman Rick Klink.
Commenting on the move to the MSE, Mr Klink said: “Malta is at the forefront of regulatory framework for blockchain regulation and the perfect launch pad for MDX’s institutional-grade platform.”
