Malta lights up with All Digital Summit 2025

Adapting to the era of artificial intelligence, the construction of democratic technologies, online gender violence and stereotypes within the digital sphere were some of the main Catalan contributions.

From 10 to 12 September, the city of Valletta, Malta, hosted the latest edition of the All Digital Summit. The event focused on digital citizenship and the empowerment of connected generations and brought together experts from across Europe to share their knowledge and perspectives on the latest developments in digital transformation. In particular, nearly a hundred digital leaders, educators, innovators and change agents met to exchange ideas, experiences and insights, establish inspiring and transformative connections and shape future digital skills.

Likewise, two short presentations were offered on the connections between citizens, academics and public institutions to build democratic technologies by Martina Mayrhofer, coordinator of the Technical and Dynamization Office of the Punt TIC Network, and the design of a framework against online gender violence by Mònica Acebo, head of the Digital Inclusion and Training Service of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Similarly, Mercè Fort, facilitator of the Smartcentre ICT Point in Santa Bàrbara, presented the 'NecesserTIC', a digital revolution with a female perspective to break gender stereotypes within the technological and digital fields.
