Towards the launch of a new online platform for the Malta Business Registry

The Malta Business Registry (MBR) is launching a new online platform. To ensure a smooth transition from the current system to the new one, the new platform is available as from today 31st August 2023 and will include a facility to register corporate accounts and an application for a qualified digital signature.

In the Corporate Accounts feature, companies need to delegate an administrator who will create a corporate account and manage the company’s users that are linked to the latter top-up account. There is different user access which can be assigned to members of the group. Key benefit of the corporate group account is to utilise name reservations within the same group for new company incorporations. In the Qualified Digital Signature, users can apply for a qualified digital signature.  This can be used for the submission of documents through the online platform and is valid for 3 years and can be used for personal use.

“This step reflects Malta Business Registry’s commitment to assist better businesses particularly in taking that leap forward in embracing further digitalisation in their operations. The new online platform will provide features aimed at easing processing for companies and corporate services providers. As a government, we reiterate our commitment to enhance the ecosystem for our business community with an open mindset of adapting to the digital scenario”, said Minister for the Economy, European Funds and Lands Silvio Schembri. The Chief Executive Officer and Registrar Dr Geraldine Spiteri Lucas advises the general public and CSPs to follow MBR’s website, social media or subscribe to MBR’s newsletter for more updates regarding the new platform. “Our aim is to ensure a coherent transition. Saying so, we are committed to assist companies and CSPs and provide the necessary information and assistance as part of our commitment to move towards a paperless entity. We look forward to providing you with an upgraded system with a better seamless experience. I thank in advance every stakeholder representative which played a key role in spreading across our message and during the testing phase”, said Dr Spiteri Lucas.

 

Melita invests €50 million to ‘keep Malta top in Europe’

Melita Limited is investing €50 million in its networks over the next seven years to deliver the next generation of internet speeds and an unprecedented level of reliability that promises to shape the island’s digital future.

Melita CEO Harald Roesch today unveiled the ‘Road to 10 Gigabits’, by demonstrating the technology to deliver 10 gigabits — or 10,000 megabits — during a live presentation at Mrieħel in the presence of Economy Minister Silvio Schembri.

This 10 Gbps technology is expected to deliver broadband speeds 10 times faster than today’s fastest nationwide network and will contribute to the development of our society improving the way we all connect, live, work, and play.

Roesch said: “While we already offer exceptional connectivity, we are now working towards the next level of internet speeds. You may ask why we’re doing this, especially since much of the hardware we use at home today has to improve before we can benefit from speeds as high as 10 gigabits.

“The reason is simple: by the time devices have evolved and new applications, such as AI, are more widely used, our network will be ready for the demands that will bring,” he told a press conference this morning.

Melita’s broadband network is today already a standout in Malta and Europe, being the only provider able to deliver 1,000 megabits per second, or one gigabit, service across an entire nation.

This achievement has placed Malta as the number one country in Europe for ultra-broadband connectivity — the islands are the only EU country with complete gigabit internet coverage — according to the European Commission’s Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI).
