🏆 ANNOUNCING THE WINNER – Youth4Entrepreneurship Gozo 2025! 🌟

We are pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s Youth4Entrepreneurship Gozo is Gabriel Hili with his idea GħaQLI: l-Għawdxi Qabel l-Ingliż! 🎉

The evaluators highlighted the proposal’s innovative and future-oriented approach, its relevance to AI development, and its potential to support long-term linguistic preservation. They also noted his confident pitch, clear market understanding, and well-defined problem statement.

At the same time, we want to extend a heartfelt well done to Josie Aldam and Fulvio Valenti, who both delivered strong, creative, and impactful pitches. Their ideas - each unique and rooted in Gozo’s needs and opportunities - reflect exactly what Youth4Entrepreneurship Gozo is all about: encouraging young people to explore ideas, take initiative, and develop solutions for our island’s future.

👉 This initiative is not about competition. It is about inspiring, supporting, and empowering all young people who take the courage to step forward, share a vision, and start shaping Gozo’s tomorrow.

A warm congratulations to Gabriel, Josie, and Fulvio — three young changemakers who have made us proud. 🌟

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Anglu Farrugia, argued that Malta’s path forward should be one that balances competitiveness with consciousness. ESG, he noted, is about creating value through the way decisions are made and how organisations build trust. He argued that social excellence, in this context, means ensuring fairness, safety, and dignity in the workplace, where every person, Maltese and foreign, feels valued and protected.
