Imagining the Future, Shaping the Present

Future Realised: Malta's Premier Economic Forum

Now in its 21st year, EY’s Future Realised returns as global economic foundations are shifting. Trade is fragmenting. Europe is resetting its industrial and investment agenda. And AI is transforming the mechanics of business—replacing systems, roles, and decisions that once defined scale and advantage.

Malta’s economic model—regulatory agility, EU market access, and strong service-and-industry led growth has delivered two decades of success. But the model now faces new tests. What must evolve for Malta to remain competitive, investable, and strategically relevant?

Each year, the event draws over 1,000 attendees, including top executives, policymakers, investors, and representatives from international organizations to ask - and answer - what comes next? Future Realised remains Malta’s most important forum for shaping economic direction so secure your ticket now and be part of the discussion.

What to expect:

  • High-profile international speakers, local and international government leaders, and industry CEOs.
  • In-depth discussions on the economic outlook, FDI investment drivers, and business strategies.
  • Results and insights from the 21st edition of EY’s Malta Attractiveness Survey.
  • A networking expo for the exchange of ideas and collaboration opportunities.
  • Curated thematic areas for guests to explore key topics and engage with experts.
  • Post event reception offering a chance to connect after the conference.
