Malta, through the Malta Business Registry, will be hosting the European Registry Business Association Annual General Conference.

This was announced during the EBRA AGM which was organised in Milan, Italy, this year’s host. EBRA is an association of Business Registry experts that collaborate to improve the operation and management of business registers in Europe. EBRA has 43 members who represent business registries from across Europe.

In Milan, MBR’s CEO and Registrar Geraldine Spiteri Lucas shared an insightful analysis of MBR’s achievements both from a regulation and digitalisation aspect.

“The hosting of the EBRA Annual Conference in Malta next year will seek concrete actions that will encourage closer collaboration amongst other European registers. It is of great satisfaction to note the respect Malta garnered on an international stage given that this will be the second conference of this kind to be hosted by Malta in a short span of time following the success of the CRF Conference three years ago,” said Dr Spiteri Lucas.

Minister for the Economy, Enterprise and Strategic Projects Silvio Schembri said that hosting of the EBRA Annual Conference reflects the work being done by MBR.

“Having our European counterparts and other jurisdictions in Malta is a great opportunity to encourage collaboration and cooperation amongst registers, identify challenges and find a way forward. The MBR, being the entity representing the smallest EU member state, has certainly rose to the occasion in making its voice heard bringing about a change in mindset and means of doing things. I look forward to fruitful discussion amongst our European colleagues’,’ said Minister Schembri.
