The Expo, organized by the Government Public Service, aimed to showcase the various facets of the Public Administration its Ministries and the services provided to the citizens. The EXPO was open to the public administration employees, students, and the general public.
During the Expo, attendees had the opportunity to meet with our employees and learn more about the Agency’s work. Attendees who visited our stand had the opportunity to witness the functionality of our network operations connectivity across the government departments by replicating on stand a network cabinet and its components. MITA employees were explaining to the general public how these components form part of a larger Magnet connectivity across the whole government and interacting with students who are interested in pursuing a career in the IT Sector.
Additionally, by visiting the MITA stand one could also obtain more information in relation to e-government forms. Visitors attending the Expo had the opportunity to understand the backend process once the citizen applies for a service through the on-line forms portal.
Overall, MITA’s involvement through its presence on the OPM Stand underscored its role in Malta’s public administration, contributing to the Expo24 success in engaging and educating the general public about the government’s ICT implementation.
The Principal Permanent Secretary Mr. Tony Sultana launched the Malta GeoHub portal. This was developed by MITA, in collaboration with Planning Authority, Environment and Resources Authority, Ambjent Malta, Transport Malta, Project Green, Infrastructure Malta and Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
The Malta GeoHub portal complements the government’s National Spatial Data Infrastructure implementation by providing a single common geospatial portal. The portal aims to improve the accessibility and usability of geospatial data and services for various stakeholders, including government entities, businesses, academia, and citizens.
Furthermore, during the Expo24, Ms. Joyce Dimech, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry for Home Affairs, Security and Employment, Mr. Steve Agius, Identita CEO and Ing.
