EXPO 2020 DUBAI
Welcome
A very desirable connection indeed I
nvesting in Malta is, really, a very natural thing to do. Apart from its economy, Malta’s strengths include its strategic location and its multilingual population, as well as its productive labour force, low corporate tax and well-developed finance and ICT clusters. Exporting from Malta offers several benefits because of very good bilateral relations with the EU major countries and those in the Commonwealth, as well as other countries such as China, the United States, Canada, Russia, the Middle East and emerging African countries. Furthermore, there are myriad opportunities for smaller companies to join forces with more established one – ‘stronger together’ is going to be an important catchphrase in the future. The Dubai Expo is a perfect opportunity for Malta and other participating countries to create a network for partnerships and relationships; to work together and communicate our vision to others. We all share the same global challenges and need to overcome the same kinds of obstacles. The expo is a rare occasion when we can meet like-minded people looking to grow their businesses and explore new markets under one ‘roof ’ – whether physically or virtually – so we may work together to find innovative and workable solutions. As the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry, we wish to incentivise cooperation, promote innovation,and generate real opportunities in export and business. In Europe, Malta is considered one of the most desirable destinations for foreign investments and it has also achieved one of the highest growth rates in science and technology in the EU. The potential for countries in other continents investing in Malta is huge. Exporting from Malta offers several benefits, not least because of very our good bilateral relations with the major EU countries and those in the Commonwealth. Make a connection with Malta. The time is now.
