Smart State
At the heart of public service is the imperative to prioritise the welfare and requirements of the public.
Volt is dedicated to spearheading a comprehensive overhaul of Malta and Europe's public sector institutions. This initiative is driven by the integration of cutting-edge technologies and innovative methodologies to confront the repercussions of prolonged economic downturns and, in some situations, extensive periods of disregard. Through these efforts, Volt seeks to modernise public institutions, ensuring they are equipped to address the evolving demands of their populations.
