Malta has a National coalition for digital skills and jobs led by Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA).

The Maltese National strategic roadmap for the Digital Decade developed by the Government of Malta sets out the strategic goals to be achieved by 2030, monitoring their achievement, and the target paths and key measures have been developed.  

The National eSkills Strategy for 2022-2025 focuses on promoting inclusive development and application of digital skills, encouraging collaboration between sectors and aligning education with market needs. 

The Digital Education Strategy 2024-2030 sets a clear strategic path which recognises the rapid advancement of technology and the increasing demand for digital skills and beyond. It aims to drive excellence in digital transformation in the education sector by prioritising digital literacy as a fundamental 21st-century skill. The AI Launchpad Strategy 2030 emphasizes investment, start-ups, and innovation, along with education and workforce development. 

To support digital transformation, Malta's recovery and resilience plan allocates resources for public administration digitalization, digital public services, and the digitalization of SMEs. Moreover, initiatives like the Maltaverians Comics Project and the Women in ICT initiative promote digital literacy, innovation, and gender equality in Malta's digital economy.
