(with a little help from MVC)

Wonderful experience!

Before partnering with Malta Venture Capital (MVC), Reforged Studios faced the challenge of funding continued growth in a capital-intensive games publishing business. We needed additional funding to expand our acquisition pipeline and pursue new opportunities at the pace required by the market. MVC provided the capital we needed to take this next step. Its investment enabled us to pursue and secure new deals while maintaining momentum across our existing portfolio. As a result, we are continuing to expand our acquisition pipeline and strengthen our portfolio of titles. MVC’s support will be instrumental in helping Reforged Studios establish itself as the IP acquisition and publishing platform of choice for under-monetised digital IP in the lower-to-mid market.

Clean Valley

Wonderful experience!

Malta Venture Capital (MVC) joined Clean Valley at an important stage in our growth, when we had proven our Hardware-as-a-Service model and needed additional financial capacity to scale. MVC’s investment, combined with its strong network across Europe, helped us accelerate our growth and expand into new international markets. We doubled our sales pipeline and entered new markets across ASEAN, Africa and South America. With this additional investment and expertise, we were also able to establish our European operations through Clean Valley Europe. MVC’s support will help us continue expanding across the EU, while creating a stronger economic focus on aquaculture and the blue economy in Malta. We see this as the beginning of a long-term relationship that can contribute to cleaner oceans, the development of new seafood industries in Malta, and a blueprint for future Maltese aquaculture startups.

In the start-up sector, particularly the ones dealing with digitalisation and innovation, Malta can strive to excel, as limitations of size and resources can be converted into strengths, which are vital to this niche in the economy.

ABOUT MALTA

Malta is strategically located at the heart of the Mediterranean with very close ties to mainland Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The island is considered the best choice for investments in knowledge based sectors and high end manufacturing, which together with EU membership, makes the country a perfect gateway to the Euro-Mediterranean region and further.

Since gaining independence in 1964, Malta has fully transformed itself into a fully functioning open market economy. Joining the EU in 2004 was seen as a natural step towards securing the economic future of the country and the adoption of the Euro in 2008 ensured that the economy would not be vulnerable to currency fluctuations while simultaneously allowing the nation to be more competitive.

The country’s national language is Maltese but both the latter and English are official languages in Malta, which adds to the destination’s appeal for visitors, traders and investors.

The key points for what makes Malta an attractive destination are:

  • Strategic Location;
  • EU membership;
  • Fully functioning open market economy;
  • Safe and pleasant lifestyle;
  • Recognition as an international financial services hub;
  • Advanced ICT infrastructure;
  • Low corporate tax;
  • Fiscal and financial incentives;
  • Significant number of double taxation agreements;
  • Highly educated and flexible workforce;
  • Competitive labour costs;
  • Pro-business policies;
  • Excellent long-term sovereign debt rating:
    • Fitch A+ (updated September 15th 2023)
    • Moody’s A2 (updated November 18th 2022)
    • Standard & Poors A- (updated September 9th 2022)
