Strategic Location

Malta is an ideal multinational location for efficient international business contacts. Located at a strategic crossroads between Europe and Africa, Malta is a meeting point of cultures and languages at the centre of the Mediterranean.

Malta has excellent inbound and outbound connections, both via air and sea. The national carrier Air Malta operates regular flights to major European capitals and a number of North African destinations. Major international carriers also operate to and from Malta.

The country has invested in sophisticated ICT infrastructure and is well connected to the international backbone.

Malta has friendly relationships with Mediterranean rim countries and the countries representing the major investment markets worldwide. Through the bilateral agreements between Malta and the EU with third countries, and through Malta’s traditional economic links, the country strengthens its position as a business location and financial centre in the wider Mediterranean region.

Malta is a major transhipment hub in the region. Malta Freeport is one of the most efficient and successful Freeport operations in the Mediterranean. Almost all goods being shipped through the port or being re-packaged for onward shipment do so tax-free.
