Malta Enterprise has been re-appointed as an intermediary organisation for the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme which enables aspiring entrepreneurs, whether they wish to create a new venture or expand an existing one to international markets, to gain valuable skills and experience.

Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs provides practical and financial assistance to new entrepreneurs, who get to spend time with experienced host entrepreneurs in another EU country and learn first-hand how to manage a small or medium-sized business (SMEs).

A book on the history of events leading up to the foundation of the Malta Development Corporation (MDC) which was eventually taken over by Malta Enterprise (ME) in 2004 was launched in celebration of the fifty years of the country’s national development agency. Written by the corporation’s long-time advisor Dr Mario Brincat, the book is entitled ‘Birth of the Malta Development Corporation: A Landmark in the Island’s Economic Development’ and outlines the corporation's role in Malta’s economic progress and development. 

De La Rue has inaugurated a €27 million product authentication facility in Bulebel. The company will produce tax stamps, authentication and brand protection products, including brand labels for Microsoft, one of the world’s most famous brands.

The inauguration of the facility follows the signing of an agreement in March with the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST) to collaborate on new training programmes in printing and secure printing.

De La Rue has been in Malta for 40 years and nowadays employs 580 full timers.
