During the event, EY will unveil the results of their Malta Attractiveness Survey that has become a benchmark study presenting the foreign direct investment (FDI) sentiment of countries globally. The study aims to deliver the most up to date and accurate analysis of current investors on the country’s present and future prospects.

The focus of this year’s event will feature what EY tags as the “NextWave of business transformation”; digitalisation. The event will aim to discover “the limitless opportunities for those ready to explore how their business could be doing things differently,” the press statement sent to BM says.
The event will showcase the speeches of more than 50 speakers, including — but not limited to — Joseph Muscat, Malta’s Prime Minister; Adrian Delia, Leader of the Opposition; John Simlett, EY Global Mobility Leader, and Christopher Schmitz, EY FinTech Leader, along with speakers from the regulatory, financial services, banking and iGaming sectors.
The keynote speech for the event will be delivered by John Simpson, world affairs editor of BBC News. Mr Simpson has spent all his working life at the BBC, and has reported from more than 120 countries, including thirty war zones. He has also interviewed world leaders such as Vladimir Putin, Ghaddafi or Ayatollah Khomeini.
