Welcome to the Transformative Age

The 14th edition of EY’s Annual Attractiveness Event, taking place on 24 October at InterContinental Malta between 8am and 4:30pm, is fast approaching and preparations are in full swing to deliver yet another successful event. Over the years, this event has progressively evolved into an annual mainstay, solidifying its reputation as one of the most anticipated focal points among the highest echelons of Malta’s business community and the public sector. Last year, over 70 speakers from all over the world delivered their views and conversed with over 900 participants. Today, the EY’s Annual Attractiveness Event has established itself as Malta’s largest business and investment forum benchmark.

This year promises to deliver yet another insightful, innovative and engaging experience. It will take the participant on a journey transcending this Transformative Age which we are collectively experiencing and living on a daily basis. The aim of the event is to spark ideas and discussions centring on the massive paradigm shifts occurring across sectors and explore the potential to drive investment and shape the next wave of Malta’s growth.

This year, over 1000 delegates hailing from all sectors and in- dustries in Malta. Private and public stakeholders are expected to attend, and potential investors will be provided with researchbased findings and conclusions on Malta’s investment. The conference will be addressed by more than 70 renowned local and foreign speakers.

The high-powered and influential speakers include the Prime Minister; the Leader of the Opposition; Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, Partner, EY Poland and former Prime Minister; Paul Brody, EY Gloal Blockchain Leader; Keith Strier, EY Global TechS Sector Digital Leader, Americas AI Leader and Mark Taverner, Global Ambassador & Markets Development at Bitfury. Other leading personalities from the regulatory, financial services, banking, manufacturing, ICT, tourism, logistics, transport and igaming sectors will also be addressing the delegates present on the day.

Ronald Attard, EY Malta Managing Partner commented: “I am proud that as a team we managed to turn this event into the annual benchmark for debate on foreign investment and the future of the economy. I am also particularly satisfied that our survey, its analysis, the speeches and the discussion continue to resonate in ever widening circles of interest in the country.”

As always, enhanced networking opportunities will be another hallmark of the event. A dedicated EY Event App will allow delegates to connect and schedule meetings prior to and during the event.

The results of a survey carried out by EY among existing FDI companies in Malta will be unveiled and the daylong event will include both plenary sessions and a range of interactive sectoral breakout sessions.
