Prime Minister of Malta, Robert Abela, returns to the EU-Startups Summit 2026!
Dr Robert Abela, Malta’s Prime Minister, will return to the EU-Startups Summit 2026, taking place on 7-8 May in sunny Malta.
Dr Abela has served as Prime Minister since January 2020. Before entering politics, he built his career as a lawyer and legal consultant, and since taking office, he has placed strong emphasis on economic development, innovation, and Malta’s long-term competitiveness. More recently, he officially launched Malta Vision 2050, the country’s long-term national strategy for future growth and development.
His government has also continued to introduce measures aimed at strengthening Malta’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. In March 2026, Dr Abela announced Intrapriża16, a new legal framework designed to allow young people aged 16 and over to open a company through a regulated and responsible system, helping remove legal barriers for aspiring young entrepreneurs while supporting Malta’s next generation of innovators. The initiative was also presented as part of the wider vision behind Malta Vision 2050.
At the summit, Dr Abela will deliver a welcome note, sharing Malta’s vision for the future as the event brings together founders, investors, and startup ecosystem leaders from across Europe.
