Malta Enterprise is a Maltese government agency that coordinates commercial development, trade, tourism and financial investment by foreign companies in the Mediterranean republic.
The Maltese government created the agency with the 2003 Malta Enterprise Corporation Act,[1] and the agency, which became operational in January 2004. It combines the functions of three separate government offices – the Malta Development Corporation, (an investment promotion agency), Malta External Trade Corporation (an import-export promotion agency) and the Institute for the Promotion of Small Enterprise (a small business support service) – into a single entity that now serves as the national representative for Malta’s commercial and financial endeavors.[2][3]
As part of its endeavors, Malta Enterprise hosts visiting trade delegations[4] and participates in global trade and business conferences.[5][6] In May 2008, Alan Camilleri, the chairman and chief executive officer of Dhalia Group and former executive director of Malta’s National Euro Changeover Committee, was named chairman of Malta Enterprise.[7]
