Applications for second edition
THE MITA Innovation Hub
(MIH) incubator, run by the
Malta Information Technology
Agency (MITA), has opened
its applications for the second
edition of the MITA YouStar-
tIT Validator, a training pro-
gramme for early-stage tech
startups. Applications opened
on Monday 18 May and will
close on Thursday 18 June
23.59 CET. It is a revamped
edition with a special focus on
tackling the aftermath of COV-
ID-19.
Indeed the pandemic has not
prevented MITA from going
ahead with its startup pro-
grammes. So after an initial de-
lay, its programmes are being
re-engineered to be delivered
completely online to ensure
social distancing and the safe-
ty and well-being of all partic-
ipants: the tech startup found-
ers.
Face-to-face sessions will be
replaced by online interactive
sessions with the help of video
conferencing.
Newly acquired tools will help
the startups' progress through
the programme material and
training in a smart and seam-
less way.
