Startups in local incubator get free Chamber of Commerce membership after deal with Malta Enterprise

An agreement struck between The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry and the country’s economic development agency, Malta Enterprise, will see startups hosted at a local incubator benefitting from free with The Malta Chamber.

The free membership will run for one year and will give the leadership of these young companies the opportunity to strengthen their network by enhancing their visibility and exposure.

The agreement will also allow businesses hosted at the Korradino Business Incubation Centre (KBIC) to actively participate in internal committees, join the Young Chamber Network, meet established business people, and access international opportunities.

The agreement was signed by Chris Vassallo Cesareo, The Malta Chamber President, and Kurt Farrugia, Malta Enterprise CEO.

Mr Vassallo Cesareo explained how these startups’ membership within The Malta Chamber will offer access to valuable contacts, knowledge, and discussions in their respective sectors.

"This membership will provide them with the right platform to share their perspectives and knowledge. Such support is crucial for these start-ups to not only thrive in an increasingly competitive business environment but also contribute to a better economic future for our country," he stated.

Ahead of the signing, Mr Farrugia noted “We value our commitment to providing quality support to our startup clients at KBIC. In doing so, we routinely explore collaborative opportunities with key stakeholders to extend this level of support.

“We are therefore proud to work closely with The Malta Chamber in this regard, providing ample opportunities for our clients to benefit from active membership in The Malta Chamber and a dedicated programme for KBIC.”
