Tech.mt has launched its Tech of the Week campaign, a drive to highlight the successes and developments within Malta's local technology industry. The foundation aims to promote local talent and their contribution to the digital economy.

The campaign features companies that have adapted to rapid technological and business changes, from established firms to startups.

AIVHY Kick Starter offers a service that helps businesses reach their optimal potential through digital innovation and smart technology, built on existing assets. The company uses Industry 4.0 and IIoT principles to deliver a realistic roadmap for growth.

Lava.mt, described as Malta and Gozo's largest online marketplace, gives customers access to over 40,000 products from top local retailers. It is a one-stop shop for a wide range of categories.

Fe/male Switch is described as the first startup role-playing game for women, designed to guide them toward building their own tech startups and entering the IT world.

ShapeLamp models its products as an algorithm using Rhino3D and Grasshopper, blending design with code.

Chatbots and Conversational Marketing offers AI-powered chatbots for Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram, reducing workforce strain while increasing sales and improving customer experience.

Another featured innovation uses Robotic Process Automation for large-volume nutritional value label recognition. RPA involves software robots that emulate human interactions with systems, performing defined actions without needing breaks, leading to increased efficiency.

The Building Management System (BMS) is an IoT-driven solution that centralises control of a building's air-conditioning, ventilation, heating, lighting, and other utility systems.

Tech.mt pledges to support these companies as they develop talent pools, offer seamless services using technology, and eventually grow their operations.

For Malta's business community, this campaign signals a widening base of digital adoption across sectors, from retail and manufacturing to sustainability and AI. The diversity of featured companies suggests that digital transformation is no longer limited to tech startups but is becoming central to traditional industries as well.
