Charting the Future: Innovation for Carbon-Neutral Islands in Europe

Research & Innovation (R&I) stands as the cornerstone of progress, shaping a world that is not only sustainable but grows in the face of climate and energy challenges. In this era of accelerating environmental transformation, R&I becomes the guiding light, illuminating the path towards a carbon-neutral future.

Within the framework of National Energy and Climate Action Plans (NECPs), EU countries are bolstering their commitment to this carbon-neutral future. The plans are the roadmap towards a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous Europe, and R&I is the engine that powers their success. It propels forward a new era of energy efficiency, renewable technologies, and environmental preservation, making these targets not just aspirational but genuinely attainable.

The consortium of the EU-funded project Mediterranean Island Cleantech Innovation Ecosystem (MICIE) invites you to participate in the discussion on boosting Research & Innovation (R&I) to decarbonize the Mediterranean islands, with a special emphasis on the islands of Cyprus and Malta.

The event will take place on November 28, 2023, from 8:30 to 14:00 CET, at the EIT House in Brussels.

Connect with a diverse network of researchers, entrepreneurs, SMEs, startups, innovators, policymakers, and citizens to collectively shape the future of European islands.

This event features keynote speakers from leading European organizations, sharing their experiences and ideas on how Cyprus and Malta can advance R&I efforts, setting a precedent for sustainable island development.

Who Should Attend:

  • Policymakers
  • Researchers
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Small-Medium Enterprises
  • Start-ups
  • Innovators
  • Policymakers

Ease of Doing Business

A number of issues make it difficult for businesses to establish themselves in Malta and to carry out day-to-day operations. Chief among these are:

  • the duplication of due diligence efforts by various entities;
  • the excessively long time it takes to open a bank account;
  • the difficulty of getting credit particularly for working capital financing or non-property investments;
  • the process of registering a property;
  • the process of getting water and electricity service;
  • the excessive waiting times for obtaining regulatory licences;
  • excessive bureaucracy in obtaining accessibility certification for commercial premises;
  • the messy user interface of Government services;
  • the very bureaucratic and unpredictable procedures involved in recruiting and retaining third country nationals;
  • the ineffectiveness of judicial remedies for resolution of civil and commercial disputes;
  • the slow resolution of insolvency issues. Improvements on all these issues are required to improve the attractiveness of Malta as a location for business.

This event, which forms part of SME Week 2023 and is being organised in collaboration with MBR, will feature a comprehensive agenda comprising local speakers from MBR, The Malta Chamber and other experts in the field, one panel discussion, and networking opportunities. Renowned experts, government officials, and industry leaders will share their insights and experiences on various topics related to ease of doing business. Key discussion points will include:

  • Administrative and legislative changes in the MBR framework i.e. restructuring of registry unit and transposition of mobility directive
  • The role of the banks when granting loans, overdrafts and credit
  • MBR’s proposed centralised repository solution
  • Easy access to finance for niches
  • Incorporation of new commercial partnerships and the vetting of documents in relation to dissolutions and liquidation accounts
  • EU single access point
