Every business must make sure that its growth prospects are clear and that the resources needed to achieve these goals are readily available. However, the increasing uncertainty in the market environment may hinder businesses’ ability to secure financing, ultimately affecting their capacity to implement certain strategies. These uncertainties are particularly worrying for some firms.
Recognising this, the Maltese Government, with support from the European Union, has emphasised the importance of supporting enterprises, especially small and medium-sized ones. This support through the Malta Business Enhance Grant Schemes 2024, aims not only to facilitate growth but also to encourage the adoption of digitalisation, sustainable technologies, and practices. These schemes, outlined in detail below, are designed to help SMEs achieve sustainable growth and become more competitive, innovative, and resilient to market challenges.
