Welcome
Malta - where you can do a lot in a day M
alta is an island state and a full member of the European Union located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, where civilisations have crossed paths for centuries. It is a natural hub for business, where a tradition of hospitality is intertwined with a flair for entrepreneurship. The Maltese economy is highly diversified for a country of half a million people. Since its independence in 1964, Malta has managed to attract and cultivate foreign investment from a wide variety of countries. It has built a resilient manufacturing industry; an internationally recognised financial services industry; one of the top maritime and aviation registers globally; a robust gaming industry; an innovative technology sector; and world class healthcare and education facilities, alongside a broad tourism industry offering anything from sun and sea to English language teaching, to conferences and events, to cultural tourism. One of the unique selling points of Malta is that you can really do a lot in a day, in terms of both work and play. This is why it continues to attract ambitious young people who want to enjoy the Mediterranean island lifestyle and climate, while they develop their careers and build their business in a stable jurisdiction that offers the benefits of full access to the EU market and proximity to emerging markets in Africa and the Middle East. In addition to having a very open economy, Malta today prides itself in having a very diverse society that offers equal opportunities for advancement to people of all genders, ethnicities, and beliefs. It is this dynamism in the face of some of the greatest economic challenges of modern times that will shape the country’s future. That future is rife with opportunities for those who are smart enough to recognise them and pursue them. At The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry, we are fully engaged in promoting a future of opportunities, where economic development truly delivers a better quality of life for everyone.
