New funding opportunity for public sector innovation closing 4 July
The newly launched Public Sector Investment in Research and Innovation scheme is now open to Ministries, Government Departments and Public Sector Entities. This initiative aims to strengthen research and innovation (R&I) capabilities within the public sector by supporting investments in advanced technologies that deliver long-term societal and economic impact.
Aligned with Malta’s Smart Specialisation Strategy, the scheme places particular emphasis on 6 main thematic areas, these being:
Health and wellbeing;
Sustainable use of resources for climate change mitigation and adaptations;
Smart manufacturing
Marine and maritime technologies;
Aviation and aerospace, and
Digital technologies.
Funding is available for investments in equipment and infrastructure that enhance R&I capacity, with a strong focus on innovation-driven growth and job creation.
Retrofit Scheme – limited-time funding for energy-efficient building upgrades
The Retrofit Scheme is open to both large enterprises and SMEs, offering support for energy-efficient building upgrades that achieve at least a 30% reduction in Primary Energy Demand (PED). Funding of up to €5 million is available per applicant. Projects must be completed by March 2026, and early application is advised to allow sufficient time for implementation. The level of aid depends on factors such as building size, location and the degree of PED reduction.
