All eyes are on Malta in the coming days, while one of the most anticipated events in the world of the crypt and the blockchain begins today. Event organizers have told me that they are expecting more than 5,000 delegates with a & nbsp; raft & nbsp; of speakers that may require to be the Who & # 39; s Who of this space.
I spoke with Eman Pulis, chief organizer of the summit and CEO on an exclusive basis where we shared various reflections on how this event could be a turning point for Malta.
So, why is Malta called Blockchain Island and what does this mean for the local economy?
"Malta has worked hard to earn the title of Blockchain Island.The Government's support has created a shelter for Crypto companies to thrive here in Malta.The legislative action passed in Parliament this summer has aroused a sense of security and stability, qualities that have attracted some of the biggest companies in the sector to Malta.The most important cryptocurrencies exchanges such as Binance and OKEx have already been transferred, with others that will surely follow, bringing with them an abundance of investment and employment opportunities and potentially transforming the island's infrastructure The transfer of foreign companies is also an advantage for other industries in Malta, such as the hospitality sector, especially when it comes to avenues that are focused on entertainment, leisure time and real estate ".
Eman continued by reflecting on the fact that the Maltese parliament has approved three regulations of law in July of this year, with the aim of guiding innovation and creating a regulatory framework for blockchain companies that operate to & # 39; inside.
"The Maltese government has been clear about its desire to turn Malta into a blockchain center, and so far it has been true to its word, offering support at all levels for emerging technology to thrive." The response to the proposed regulation was extraordinarily positive – with the impact already felt in terms of economic growth and development ".
There has been much talk of the fact that blockchain and game industries can certainly go together. With his past of organizing major events for the gaming industry like SiGMA, Pulis certainly has a knowledge of what can be achieved with both industries merging together.
"The gaming industry is an ideal candidate for outages.The decrease in confidence in the market can lead to a path of centralized and segregated trading platforms with excessive trading fees.The fraud is also widespread in the virtual goods market. online, making fundamental values such as security and transparency for players who create profiles, even when they purchase, sell or store goods at stake – in light of this, SiGMA, for the second consecutive year, will host a blockchain conference for a high-level discussion on emerging technology and its implications for iGaming, "added Pulis.
Pulis also believed that legislation has certainly helped to take care of positive energy among the people of the Blockchain sphere, the companies that operate here or who consider the transfer have found a sense of security and welcome. At the government level, there is a great desire to embrace this technology and apply it positively to the Maltese infrastructure. "There's definitely the feeling of being inspired and wanting to do things," he says.
Finally, it seems that another area in which Malta is going is the export sport sector. What do you think about Eman?
"It's nice to see incentives that encourage eSports companies to settle in Malta, which can only be a good thing for our economy, Malta has so much to offer to companies that consider transfer, from good weather and excellent hospitality services to a solid regulatory framework ", concludes Eman.
The summit also attracted the interest of other overlapping industries and complimented block technology. Representing progress in the sphere of AI is the latest discovery of the humanoid robotics of Hanson Robotics – Sophia. Sophia will join her creator for a chat on the fireplace during the Marketing and Investment conference.
The awards include becoming the first robot to receive citizenship around the world, as well as being named the world's first UN innovation champion by the United Nations Development Program, where it will play a job role with UNDP to promote sustainable development and safeguard human rights and equality.
The summit agenda also includes a Hackathon. Attracted by a prize of 50 thousand euros, 16 blockchain teams have already confirmed to compete. The Hackathon is supported by numerous sponsors, such as and Toro, Dao. Casino, Snips and IOST. The competition will be led by industry luminaries such as John McAfee, Noam Eppel, Jimmy Zhong and Mikhail Savchenko, among others.
An ICO Pitch is also on the books. 37 Ico will hit the elbows with 1000 investors in the Pitch Hall, before facing 18 expert investors from the jury. The Pitch is a partner of d10e and has an impressive $ 100,000 prize pool.
The summit will be held on November 1st and 2nd at the Intercontinental Hotel, St Julian & # 39; s, Malta, and brings with it four conferences and a remarkable exhibition floor. The highlights, in addition to those already mentioned, include a ceremony of Blockchain Awards and Crypto Cruise. It's not a bad place, I guess.
