BPA seminars

The Malta Development Corporation together with Metco, IPSE and Mimcol is organising a series of seminars to launch the new Business Promotion Act.
This new Act introduces greater scope and flexibility to the incentives available for the promotion of business and covers a much wider range of qualifying sectors and activities than before. The BPA provides incentives for those industries demonstrating growth and employment potential that are engaged in manufacture, repair, improvement or maintenance activities. New provisions also provide attractive fiscal incentives for companies engaged in certain specified manufacturing and qualifying activities.
These seminars will target a broad range of sectors in both Malta and Gozo and are aimed at both large and small to medium enterprises (SME’s). The MDC is being supported and assisted by the Malta External Trade Corporation (METCO), the Institute for the Promotion of Small Industries (IPSE), and Mimcol in order that all aspects of interest to local companies are covered including exports and small enterprises. This is part of a new initiative to encourage closer cooperation between these bodies.
During these seminars, experts from the four entities will address issues raised by clients in the industrial and services sectors, based upon practical working experience. The seminars will be held from 22 March up to 10 May and invitations are to be sent to all MDC clients.
