On Thursday, 20 August 2026, two Master of Science (MSc) students from the University of Malta met with Mr George Gregory, CEO of Malta Enterprise.  The two students, Mark Zammit and James John Gatt, are pursuing an MSc in ICT, with a specialisation in microelectronics and microsystems.

Through an internship sponsorship at imec’s headquarters in Leuven, Belgium, the students have the opportunity to conduct research in microelectronics while completing their research projects with the University of Malta.

Malta Enterprise continues to support Malta’s role in Europe’s digital and industrial transformation through its ongoing engagement with European semiconductor policy developments.

As part of these efforts, Mr Matthew Xuereb, Policy Officer at DG CNECT, European Commission, delivered a presentation on Europe’s semiconductor strategy, with a focus on the EU Chips Act 2.0. The session was attended by representatives from the Ministry for Economy, Technology and Strategic Projects, the Permanent Representation of Malta to the EU (PREU), and EUCD.
