FULLY BOOKED! KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS SPACE AS ANOTHER SESSION WILL BE ORGANISED SOON!

The EU Pay Transparency Directive is set to bring transformative changes to workplaces across all Member States, including Malta. This directive introduces important transparency obligations for all employers in both the public and private sectors, as well as specific reporting requirements for larger employers.

Although Member States are required to implement the directive by 7 June 2026, employers are encouraged to begin familiarising themselves with its requirements and preparing for the significant changes it will introduce. To help you navigate these upcoming obligations, we are hosting an information session to discuss the key aspects of the directive, including:

• Transparency requirements applicable to all employers
• Reporting obligations applicable for larger employers (50+)

During this information session, we will aim to address any questions you may have about the Pay Transparency Directive, its relevance to your organisation, and the preparatory steps you can take to ensure compliance.

This session aims to provide a practical perspective on Transfer Pricing, exploring its potential as a strategic tool for optimizing business value chains and enhancing overall outcomes. We intend to facilitate engaging discussions regarding the challenges and issues identified during the audit phase, now that the first year of implementation of the Malta Transfer Pricing Framework has concluded. Additionally, we will address the readiness that businesses must cultivate to prevent these issues from recurring in the future.

A significant portion of the discussion will focus on the role of technology in Transfer Pricing—examining its current impact and potential future contributions to achieving optimal outcomes. 

The session will feature real case studies and experiences presented by senior service line leaders in an interactive panel format, which we believe will be highly relevant to our target audience. We are eager to hear insights from industry leaders who have been affected by Transfer Pricing, allowing us to understand their experiences and the relevance of this subject on both local and global scales.

This misco Talks event, organised in collaboration with The Malta Chamber is based on a research study that provides an in-depth examination of how organisations in Malta design, deliver, and evaluate employee training initiatives.

It explores the strategic and operational considerations that shape training provision, including organisational priorities, resource allocation, and the broader goals of workforce development. A central focus of the study is the perceived value of training – not only in terms of organisational outcomes such as productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness, but also from the perspective of employees, who may associate training with career advancement, job satisfaction, and personal growth.

Supporting the Mental Well-Being of Malta’s Business Leaders

Running a business is rewarding but carries an immense mental load, especially in Malta’s fast-paced and high-pressure economy. When employers are under strain, it doesn’t just affect them personally. Their decision-making suffers, innovation slows down, and productivity across teams can take a hit. Despite this, the mental health of business leaders often goes unnoticed and unsupported.

In Malta, around 1 in 5 workers is self-employed. About 11% run solo operations, while another 10% lead businesses that employ others. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) dominate Malta’s economy. They make up 99.8% of all companies, contribute over 80% of the country’s economic output, and provide nearly 78% of private sector jobs. So the well-being of our business leaders isn’t just a personal issue, it’s a matter of national interest.

International research shows that entrepreneurs and leaders face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and even burnout compared to the general population. During the pandemic, nearly 8 in 10 managers reported struggling with their mental health, and even outside of crisis periods, almost half of business owners report mental health difficulties.

Yet most mental health initiatives focus on employees and not the employers. Leadership can be lonely. Founders, directors, and entrepreneurs often carry the weight alone, with few safe spaces to talk or seek help. That gap puts long-term productivity and sustainability at risk.

This conference, delivered in collaboration with The Malta Chamber and Willingness, shines a light on the mental health of business leaders. Drawing from clinical experience and organizational insight, we’ll explore practical ways Malta can build a healthier, more resilient leadership culture, starting with the people at the top.

Xjenza Malta, as the BlueMissionMed Malta National HUB, is organising a workshop titled “Mind the Gap: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities for Cleaner Mediterranean Waters”. Scheduled for Monday, 19th May 2025, at The Planetarium Hall, Villa Bighi, Kalkara, Malta, this event is being held in collaboration with the Environment and Resources Authority and The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry and RHE-MEDiation Project.

This workshop will bring together regulators, public entities, waste and wastewater sectors operators, academia, and Businesses to discuss Malta’s specific needs, challenges, and opportunities in meeting environmental targets. A key focus will be tackling pollution in the Mediterranean Sea while aligning with the EU Mission to “Restore our Oceans and Waters”.

A transformative approach will be introduced to drive systemic change in alignment with EU objectives. This strategy underscores the business community’s responsibility under the Polluters Pay Principle, recognising its critical role in driving innovation and shaping environmental outcomes. Moreover, collaboration between academia and public agencies will be highlighted as a catalyst for scalable solutions that simultaneously advance sustainability and economic growth.

The workshop aligns with the strategic goals of the BlueMissionMed project, which aims to restore ocean health by 2030 through pollution elimination, carbon neutrality in the blue economy, and fostering citizen engagement. This initiative reflects Malta’s broader commitment to sustainable development within its blue economy framework.

By fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration, particularly through active participation of business sector involvement, this event will showcase how enterprises can integrate innovative, sustainable practices into their operations, playing a key role in achieving Malta’s environmental objectives while driving long-term economic resilience and growth.

Ever since Malta joined the EU, the wastewater treatment in the islands has been regulated by the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD), which amongst others determines the quality of the treated effluent discharged to sea. On a local level the sewer discharge regulations, specifying what can and cannot be discharged by the trade has been in place since 1993 and the discharge permitting unit within Water Services corporation (DPU-WSC) has been educating ever since. With the latest revision of the UWWTD, the need to introduce the polluter pays principle was recognized and this will be reflected in the upcoming revision of the sewer discharge regulations (SDR).

This information session, in collaboration with Water Services Corporation (WSC), will provide businesses with clear, actionable insights into how these regulations will work, how to avoid any pollution contributions through good management, and methods to maintain environmental standards.

What if you could step 30 years into the future and envision life in Malta – would we be thriving, struggling, or on the brink of collapse?

Inspired by the global EY Four Futures – brought to Malta for the first time at the Future Realised conference last October 2024 – CHANGE promises to be an eye-opening and thought-provoking journey through four distinct Climate Futures, each shaped by the choices we make today.

Through powerful visuals, real stories, and expert insights, we will explore Malta’s Four Futures, a science-led experience inspired by the work of Futurist Jim Dator. The original, launched by EY for the first time at COP28, has now been tailored for Malta’s specific circumstances, and will be explored on the day.

Hear from local voices, see how climate change is already shaping Malta, and discover what these futures could mean for you, your business, and your community. The event looks beyond current regulatory discourse, and asks us to consider if our actions today will deliver a Future we’re willing to live in.

Are you ready to explore the future – and will you help shape it?

Join us for this event and be part of the conversation that Malta can’t afford to ignore.
