A memorandum of understanding was signed by Mark Bugeja, chairman at Tech.mt and Lino Mintoff, head, projects and internationalisation at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry.
This strategic and cooperative partnership will provide specialised services to businesses and facilitate connections to prime markets, superior customers, finance and business partners. The in-depth services delivered to the businesses will be in partnership with other local experts and EU networks.
The MoU encompasses two main areas of collaboration: advice, support and information; and cross-border partnering activities for business cooperation, technology transfer, innovation and research.
This partnership agreement will facilitate the development of international partnerships by connecting businesses to expertise contacts; ensure expert advice to businesses to simplify entry into international markets; support business innovation services to instigate international success; support the clients’ needs on their international growth path; and assist businesses to find an international business partner.
