The National Business Support Award ceremony took place, honouring organisations and initiatives that have made significant contributions to the development of business in Malta.
The event was attended by the Minister for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects, Silvio Schembri, who emphasised the Government’s ongoing commitment over the past twelve years to supporting businesses, especially during times of challenge. He highlighted the importance of designing regulations intelligently to reduce administrative burdens rather than increase them. “Together with businesses, we have built a strong, sustainable and innovative economy.” said Minister Schembri.
He also noted that over the past decade, Malta’s economy has grown substantially, from €7 billion to €24 billion, placing the country in a strong position to pursue greater ambitions.
This vision is reflected in Malta’s Vision 2050, with specific targets to be achieved by 2035.
The Selection Committee for the National Business Support Award chose European Services Malta and Tech.mt Foundation as the highest scoring initiatives to represent Malta at the European Enterprise Promotion Awards 2025, to be held later this year in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was also announced that the Migrant Women Association received the National Honorary Mention Certificate.
This year’s increase in applicants reflects the ongoing growth of Malta’s economic activity, with consistent year-on-year production increases.
Governmental organisations also decided to award the prize money won to the NGOs: Puttinu Cares Foundation, Equal Partners Foundation, and the Malta Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (MSPCA).
