Malta is at the forefront of a technological evolution that is transforming society and our economy. It is affecting the way we communicate, interact, work, and carry out our day to day lives.Data is at the core of all our technology and processes. The increasing amount of non-personal and public data, along with technological advances on how it is stored and processed, create opportunities for innovation, competition, and growth. Within Government, data is central to the delivery of public services. We need to ensure that this data is open for its appropriate consumption and use, empowering society to become data-driven.
Primarily, we need to keep the interests of society first, ensuring that the collection, processing, and use of personal data is in accordance with our values, fundamental rights, and rules. Individuals only trust technological innovation if they are confident that their privacy and personal data is being safeguarded.
