ST JULIAN'S, Malta, Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GBS Malta, part of GEDU Global Education, has today provided a boost to the economy with students graduating in what is the institution's first cohort entering the job market.
Prime Minister Robert Abela was the Chief Guest at the ceremony, which was also attended by senior figures from Maltese businesses and the diplomatic community.
The largest group of students graduated from the MBA in Project Management pathway programme, now accredited by the Association of Project Management (APM). GBS Malta is seeing a growing interest in its courses. Not least because of the quality of life in Malta and the job opportunities emerging through the country's strong economic growth, with tourists visiting in high numbers, and significant private sector investment across the island.
Quality higher education is vital if Malta is to sustain this positive trajectory.
Speaking at the ceremony about the students' achievements, Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela said:
"It reflects Malta's evolution into a dynamic hub for high-quality education and high-quality career pathways.
"In a world that is shaped by rapid change, these skills place students at the forefront of opportunity.
"GBS Malta's support for local initiatives in education, employability and social development shows a genuine commitment to our community."
Director of Operations (Europe) for GBS Malta, Allen Lofaro said this is a momentous day for the institution.
"I'm filled with pride to see students graduating today, knowing that they will go on to have an impact both here in Malta and around the world," said Mr Lofaro.
"It is a really exciting time to be involved in education in Malta, and we were delighted to have the Prime Minister's support. Malta is increasingly able to attract and retain talented young people - they see a positive and long-term future in the country."
"This is helping to make Malta a hub for education, attracting ambitious students and institutions from around world.
"The Island's knowledge economy is thriving, and we at GBS will continue to play our role in strengthening it. We have designed our curriculum to meet industry's needs, particularly in high-tech and high-growth sectors.
"Today's graduating cohort is the first of many, and I can't wait to see what the near future holds."

GBS Malta Celebrates Landmark Inaugural Graduation
GBS Malta Celebrates Landmark Inaugural Graduation
SHANGHAI, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Smartee Denti-Technology today announced the addition of Material Choice and Trimline Selection features to its digital case management system SmarteeCheck. Available immediately at the case approval stage, these updates provide clinicians with greater flexibility to further customize treatment plans based on personal preferences and dental condition of individual patients.
Material Choice: Balancing Precision and Comfort
Clinicians can now select between Softer and Standard dental sheets when approving a case. This dual-option approach addresses the advanced clinical understanding that different phases of tooth movement require different mechanical properties.
Smartee's Softer material is suited for treatment stages where patient comfort and initial compliance are priorities, while the Standard material provides the sustained force expression needed for robust control. This functionality allows clinicians to select the appropriate material for each treatment phase without having to switch aligner systems.
Trimline Selection: Evidence from Industry Studies
The update also allows clinicians to choose from three distinct trimline styles at case approval: Classic Scalloped, Scalloped Extended, and Straight.
This feature aligns with recent clinical studies on aligner biomechanics and aesthetics. A systematic review published in BMC Oral Health noted that trimline design influences orthodontic tooth movement efficacy by affecting force delivery and aligner retention. Additionally, an eye-tracking study in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (AJODO) confirmed that different trimline designs impact how aligners are visually perceived.
To meet diverse clinical requirements, the system offers:
- Classic Scalloped Trimline: Precisely conforms to the gingival margin for improved aesthetics and comfort.
- Scalloped Extended Trimline: Extends beyond the margin to enlarge the surface area in the maxillary posterior buccal region for enhanced retention.
- Straight Trimline: A straight horizontal trimming at the gingival zenith, delivering maximum retention force.
Clinical Flexibility
While some clear aligner systems offer a single standard trimline, Smartee's update enables doctors to easily toggle between three distinct styles at case approval. This supports personalized treatment planning by allowing orthodontists to balance retention, force control, and gingival aesthetics according to each patient's specific clinical profile.
Availability
The Material Choice and Trimline Selection features are available globally starting March 31, 2026, for all new case approvals through Smartee's digital case management system.
