Morocco, Malta Conduct First Trade Mission

TradeMalta is currently in Morocco helping firms from Malta take advantage of new prospects and fortify international relationships, according to English speaking daily newspaper “Times of Malta”.
The trade delegation led by Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade Ian Borg is made up of 17 businesses from a variety of industries, including risk management, manufacturing, advisory, construction, healthcare, and renewable energy.
The newspaper said that Morocco is certainly an attractive destination for Maltese investors looking for export and internationalization opportunities.
This Casablanca-based multi-sector business mission intends to give companies in Malta the chance to grow into new markets, seize new possibilities, and solidify existing connections.
“Our visit to Morocco is based on the assessment that Morocco, apart from being an interesting market in itself, is building the institutional capacity and infrastructure to become a gateway to the African continent,” said TradeMalta CEO Anton Buttigieg.
Buttigieg added that TradeMalta encourages Malta-based companies interested in taking their business across borders to approach TradeMalta with their ideas and plans.
TradeMalta is organizing the first Malta – Morocco business forum in Casablanca which will be followed by a business-to-business matchmaking session.
TradeMalta is based on a public-private partnership with the Government of Malta and it falls within the remit of the Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade, and the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise, and Industry. It is dedicated to helping Malta-based businesses go international.
