Digital Workshop 1: Beyond the Buzzwords - Automation, IoT & AI Explained
...

Family businesses are the backbone of Malta’s economy, yet many are facing a common challenge: while turnover continues to grow, profitability is not always keeping pace. How can family businesses scale sustainably, improve productivity, and create long-term value for future generations?
Organised by The Malta Chamber in collaboration with the Family Business Office and EMCS Advisory, this event will present the key findings of a comprehensive Family Business Survey, providing valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges facing family-owned enterprises today. The findings reveal a growing need for stronger strategic planning, enhanced governance structures, improved productivity, and greater adoption of digital tools and technologies.
The event will bring together business leaders, policymakers, and family business owners to explore practical solutions for building more resilient, efficient, and future-ready organisations. Through expert presentations, real-life case studies, and an interactive discussion, participants will gain valuable perspectives on how successful family businesses are transforming operational challenges into competitive advantages.
Topics will include the impact of productivity on business performance, the role of governance and planning in sustainable growth, and how digitalisation can help businesses improve efficiency, profitability, and long-term value creation.
Whether you are a founder, owner, director, or next-generation family business leader, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn from data-driven insights, engage with industry experts, and contribute to shaping the future of family business in Malta.
This event is being organised as part of Malta SME Week 2026.
