Minister for Gozo Anton Refalo and Minister for Finance Edward Scicluna visit Thynk Software – an Expanding Software Business in Gozo

During a visit at Thynk Software, an innovative export-oriented start-up operating from Gozo, Minister for Gozo Anton Refalo and Minister for Finance Edward Scicluna encouraged potential enterpreneurs to follow in this company’s footsteps.

Thynk Software started off as a one-man operation. Founder Marlon Grech has managed to grow the team to 10 people with a yearly revenue quote of $ 1 million. Before starting his own business, he had successfully founded an office for a globally consultancy firm in Malta.

Mr Grech explained that Thynk Software is a team driven by passion to build products that aid users’ everyday lives and solve problems. Their main focus are start-ups, whom they help to evolve their idea, develop it in a way that leverages the latest technologies, and take that idea to the market as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Minister Refalo stated that Thynk Software is in line with the government’s mission in attracting new economic investment to the island of Gozo. The company’s team work hard to tap into the small but growing number of IT professionals in Gozo and help create a culture that leads to the development of new, innovative start-ups.

Thynk Software wants to help bring the new economy to Gozo. It strives to build relationships with the local IT education and training sectors to ensure that students either become IT entrepreneurs themselves or are geared towards helping those who want to start up new businesses in which IT plays a central role.

Minister Refalo encouraged Thynk Software to continue to expand their business, and emphasised that the Government is willing to support business of this kind.

Finance Minister Edward Scicluna commented that, when it comes to IT start-ups, Gozo should do well since location is not a major factor. He said it’s encouraging to witness young people like those setting up Thynk Software taking full advantage of these factors to set up an export-based innovative business with foreign earnings rather than simply wait to land a job offered by the Government.

Minister Scicluna said that it is the Government’s duty to actively encourage such initiatives by continuing to eliminate the remaining administrative burdens that get in their way and weigh them down. He pointed out that the government is negotiating a limited audit exemption, whereby the obligation to submit an audit report is waived in the case of small start-ups during their first two-years of operation.

Furthermore, through a recently announced Budgetary measure, Malta Enterprise may approve a tax credit for start-up undertakings equivalent to 45% of eligible expenditure. An additional bonus of 20% (total 65% tax credit) applies to undertakings operating from Gozo.

  1232. After the group phase matches, the Euro Cup 2020 tournament has entered the knockout stages with teams competing in the round of 16. In total, ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC will combine to televise more than 140 live hours of the UEFA European Football Championship 2020 beginning Friday, June 12, with the opening match in Rome, through the Final on Sunday, July 12, at Wembley Stadium in London. The 51 matches of the quadrennial international competition will be played across 12 European cities. Starting with Portugal, their most prominent player is undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is one of the greatest footballers of all time, and his goalscoring record speaks for itself. He is a constant threat in front of goal and has the ability to change the outcome of a match with a single moment of brilliance. Ronaldo is known for his incredible speed, agility, and strength, as well as his ability to score from anywhere on the pitch. He is also a leader both on and off the pitch, and his presence alone can inspire his teammates to perform at their best.

    So there were Chelsea FC top scorers in each season. Manchester City star Erling Haaland is the 2022 23 Premier League Golden Boot winner with a new Premier League single-season record 36 goals. Chelsea all time top scorers list represents the pinnacle of goal-scoring excellence and provides a glimpse into the club’s illustrious history. These players have not only brought joy and excitement to Stamford Bridge but have also achieved remarkable success on the domestic and international stages. Their goals have propelled Chelsea to numerous trophies and memorable moments, etching their names in the hearts of fans around the world. And how likely is it that City repeats as Premier League champion for a fourth time, something that hasn’t been done since — checks notes, checks again, leafs through pages, scratches forehead — ever?
