The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry and EMCS have officially entered into a Silver Collaboration Agreement aimed at reinforcing cooperation on key economic and business initiatives.

Through this agreement, both parties will work closely to strengthen policy formation from an economic perspective, contributing informed insights that support sustainable growth and competitiveness within Malta’s business landscape.

A central pillar of the collaboration will focus on the development and execution of market and business surveys. These initiatives will provide valuable data and analysis to better understand emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities faced by enterprises across various sectors.

In addition, The Malta Chamber and EMCS will jointly organise a Family Business Conference, designed to address the unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities faced by family-run enterprises, which remain a cornerstone of Malta’s economy.

Commenting on the agreement, William Spiteri Bailey, President of The Malta Chamber, stated: "This collaboration with EMCS reflects our continued commitment to supporting evidence-based policy development and strengthening the voice of the business community. By working together on research initiatives and targeted events such as the Family Business Conference, we are ensuring that businesses, particularly family enterprises, are better equipped to navigate today’s evolving economic landscape."

“EMCS has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with The Malta Chamber, and we are proud to now formalise this partnership through this agreement. The Malta Chamber is the country’s leading business organisation, representing all key sectors of the Maltese economy, and is therefore a natural partner for EMCS. For over 40 years, we have been committed to supporting the Maltese business community, and this collaboration will allow us to strengthen that contribution even further. Over the next three years, we look forward to providing the Chamber with our economic and business analysis, as well as our expertise in public policy, EU funding, market research and training. On a personal level, having started my professional career with The Malta Chamber and later serving as its President, signing this agreement marks an important milestone in my long and meaningful relationship with the organisation,” noted Stefano Mallia, Partner, EMCS. 

This partnership underscores both organisations’ shared vision of fostering a resilient and forward-looking business environment in Malta through collaboration, research, and dialogue.

The agreement was signed by William Spiteri Bailey, Mark Bajada and Dr Marthese Portelli, President, Deputy President and CEO of The Malta Chamber respectively together with Stefano Mallia, Partner at EMCS .
