BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The session will provide a technical and practical insight on the support available through Malta Enterprise for the implementation of projects that involve new investments, research and actions to make business more sustainable. The guidelines will be explored as the legal basis of the support and an overview of the application process and requirements will also be presented to the audience.

SPECIFIC TOPICS TO BE COVERED DURING THE SESSION

The event will be split in 3 smaller sessions, primarily as per below:
1. Overview of what constitutes Research & Development and available measures that promote the undertaking of research, including research that can be undertaken directly by the applicant, research that can be done in collaboration with research organisations and structures that provide access to research for the general business community. We will also cover tax benefits available for research that has been implemented and from which an applicant is generating income.
2. Overview of available measures that support business to implement projects to become more sustainable. Malta’s Sustainable Development Vision for the coming years sets out the country’s aspirations and priorities for mainstreaming sustainable development. A number of support measures are already in place to help achieve sustainability goals for business. The session will also highlight regulation updates that are envisage to be published in the coming weeks
3. Overview of measures supporting new investments through cash grants, tax credits, loan guarantees and interest rate subsidies. These measures aims to sustain the regional industrial and economic development of Malta and facilitates initial investments including the setting up of new establishments, the expansion of existing facilities and the diversification of existing businesses, amongst other activities.

WHY IS THE SESSION OF RELEVANCE TO OUR MEMBERS?

The session will provide an insight of the updates – during the process of evaluation we very often notice that applications do not address the latest updates. Therefore through this session we intend to highlight changes that may affect eligibility of applications. Since the audience plays a very important part in the compilation of applications, it is relevant for them to be abreast of changes and what the support is strategically intend for.
