The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry’s Internationalis-ation Desk is hosting a seminar to inform members about the business opportunities that exist in Tunisia. The seminar is being organised in collaboration with the Tunisian Embassy in Malta, Malta Enterprise and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Representatives from four different Tunisian business organisations, namely CEPEX (Tunisian Export Promotion Centre), UTICA (Union of Industry, Commerce and Handicrafts), FIPA (Investment Promotion Agency), and UTAP (Tunisian Agriculture and Fisheries Union), will be participating with information about the Tunisian market and will be available for further contact. The seminar will also serve as an information session in preparation for the trade mission to Tunisia and Algeria that will take place in March 2010.

Participants will be addressed by the Tunisian Ambassador, Mohamed Ali Ganzoui, Malta’s Ambassador to Tunisia Dr Vicky-Anne Cremona, the Malta Chamber Internationalis-ation Desk manager Klaus Pedersen, Malta Enterprise, and Bank of Valletta.

In addition, it will be a forum for gauging the degree of interest among Maltese businesses for the creation of a Maltese-Tunisian Business Council, which is envisaged to be a networking forum for Maltese companies conducting business in Tunisia, or interested in doing business with Tunisian companies.

This is one of a series of ‘Doing business with’

information seminars that the Malta Chamber is organising, in line with its internationalisation events and other initiatives. The Malta Chamber has organised a similar programme of seminars regarding business opportunities with Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Germany, which were well received by members.

The seminar will be held on 5 October at 2.30pm at the Exchange Buildings, Valletta.
