Initial coin offering (ICO) campaigns, sometimes referred to as ‘token sales’ or ‘token-generating events’ (TGE), which raise funds for a venture through the issue of a cryptographic token in exchange for digital currency (fiat or virtual) may be paralleled to online crowdfunding campaigns or initial public offerings (IPOs).
Artificial Intelligence Malta’s national AI strategy: is the country ready?
The Maltese government has officially launched its national AI strategy during the Delta Summit 2019. The document is a blueprint for the progressive introduction of AI into Maltese society, which will position the island as a centre of excellence for artificial intelligence-backed technologies. The strategy, which sets a vision for Malta to become the “Ultimate AI Launchpad” by 2030, relies on the attainment of three strategic objectives.
BUDGET Malta Budget 2020: what are green bonds?
Malta Budget 2020: what are green bonds? During the presentation of the 2020 budget, Malta’s Finance Minister Edward Scicluna has announced that the Malta Stock Exchange will open up for green bonds.

Indicatively, such projects may entail the introduction of sustainable renewable energies, clean transportation, low carbon, and good energy efficiency buildings or sustainable waste management.
Business consulting services Duties of the company director
Directors are in charge of the management and control of the company. They take decisions for and act on behalf of the company, usually during board meetings. These decisions are logged in board minutes or in a resolution signed by all the directors of the company. The appointment of directors, other than the first directors, will typically be regulated by the Articles of Association of the company. However, where the Articles fail to make any mention on this point, the Companies Act provides for their appointment accordingly.

Fintech Preventing and detecting the misuse of virtual financial assets: introducing the tools
Technology is rapidly evolving, and this is proven with the development of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets. Concurrently, criminals are also advancing in terms of technology use since traditional crimes such as money laundering, theft, drug trafficking and financing of terrorism are being shifted to the cyber world.
Blockchain Can GDPR and blockchain coexist?
A study published by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) seeks to examine whether the European Data Protection Regulation and the ancillary framework (GDPR) can coexist with the peculiar nature of blockchain technologies. The study argues that the multiple points of friction which have emerged between the GDPR and blockchain technologies are mainly due to three factors:
TAX Say goodbye to the arm's length principle
The G20 has endorsed the The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD’S) roadmap for resolving the ‘tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the economy’. The reallocation of profits and minimum tax proposals that have emerged following a recent round of consultations could put an end to the arm’s length principle that has governed transfer pricing for decades.
