Delivering next generation cyber security is a clear objective in all ICT Gozo Malta activities. Projects address the hard problems and offer features considered essential for the security of existing and future systems as listed in authoritative guiding publications such as the United States Department of Homeland Security 2009 Cyber Security Roadmap.

Through the facilitation of existing and developing international ICT relationships, we also advance Malta sourced R&D and promote Malta's unique advantages as a location for cutting edge ICT demonstration projects. These advantages include:
- European Union Membership
- Compact geography and population size suited as an international test bed for next generation technologies
- Quick access to Government and corporate decision makers
- Strong Government commitment to ICT and advanced national ICT infrastructure
- Neutral multicultural and geographic crossroads between Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA)
- Attractive taxation and skilled human resources.
All this in a world class tourism destination in the Mediterranean Sea that is also home to the world’s oldest standing structures (temples predating the pyramids).
