AWARDS 2019 


Background & History 

MBR Publications limited have always wanted to 

organise something special and unique for the 

Gozitan business community. With this in mind, 

together with the support and backing of the 

Hon. Minister for Gozo Dr Justyne Caruana and 

her dedicated team headed by Director Esther 

Bajada, we came up with the idea to create a 

two day event which would showcase the best 

of Gozo’s businesses, including manufacturing, 

industry, agriculture, indigenous produce, tourism, 

create recruitment opportunities and act as a 

hub of business development and foster further 

investment. This business development event 

should attract a cross-section of all businesses, 

CEOs, business leaders, influencers, investors, 

business owners,entrepreneurs, students, marketing 

managers, business developers, the general public, 

constituted bodies and private 

organisations, technology and alternative energy 

corporates and other like-minded enthusiasts, and is 

also being supported by the Gozo Business Chamber. 

A 2-day B2B/B2C Trade Conference & Exhibition, 

culminating in the grand gala evening presentation 

of the Gozo Business Awards 2019 (GBA). Launch 

of trade fair & exhibition on Friday 31st May at 

10:00 -21:00hrs & 09:30-1300hrs Saturday 1st 

June 2019 & Gozo Business Awards: 0730-2300hrs. 

Includes exhibition, conferences, audio-visual 

displays, trade show, entertainment, music & food 

& beverages area. 

Six Reasons to Organise & Support the Gozo B2B/ 

B2C Expo & The Gozo Best in Business Awards 2019 

1. This is the first B2B/B2C Gozo Expo with 

networking and award ceremony. Of the many 

visitors that visit this Island, participants and 

sponsors could be among those playing a part in 

this historic moment. 

2. Every second counting down to the Gozo B2B/ 

B2C Expo marks another step towards creating 

something amazing. While the Expo will last for 

two days, the value it will create for participating 

investors, with plenty of collateral opportunities, 

you as an individual, and the Gozo as an Island, 

will last for generations. 

3. The Gozo B2B/B2C Expo is a magnet for 

attracting the best companies willing to trade 

from Gozo. This provides an opportunity 

Foreign Direct Investment and the Gozo 

Ministry is offering tax free benefits, as well as 

designated trade zone and office locations for 

companies wishing to set up and do business in 

Gozo. For exhibitors, the door is open for new 

investor and new sales opportunities, as well as 

growth potential opportunities. 

This is called learning from the best in business. 

4. In such a fast-paced global environment, the job 

as an Expo team member participant or exhibitor 

will constantly evolve to meet new challenges. 

While working alongside their colleagues, 

participants will build unique skills that will 

equip them for future endeavours and oave the 

way for more trade. 

5. The Gozo B2B/B2C Expo celebrates and 

accelerate human progress, since Gozo is a 

peripheral Island with an ECO agenda. Gozo will 

become an eco-island by 2020, supported by a 

keen and committed sustainable community. It 

is a vision rooted in the island’s potential and the 

capabilities of its people. EcoGozo is a vision 

for an island to become even more beautiful, 

inspiring, welcoming, thriving, inclusive and 

successful. A healthy and successful place to live 

in, in equilibrium with the environment. This is 

essentially what eco-island will strive to achieve. 

Working for the Gozo B2B/B2C Expo gives 

exhibitors the chance to introduce new ideas and 

innovations to people from all over the Gozo and 

all types of business or educational backgrounds.

6. All eyes will be looking towards the Gozo B2B/ 

B2C Expo and Gozo. The Expo team guarantee 

to provide an experience it will not forget, 

create also grounds for foreigners, Gozitans and 

Maltese to travel and experience a new concept 

of trading and exhibiting in Gozo, thus this event 

can grow from year-to-year, and identify Gozo 

as a place or destination where a much more 

relaxed, inspirational and ideal business activity 

may take place.



It is with pleasure that as Minister for Gozo I welcome the Gozo Expo 2019 to our islandregion. 

Gozitans are renowned for their great sense of entrepreneurship, their resilience 

and determination to succeed. With these remarkable qualities they led their families 

and the island to prosperity, turning adversities into opportunities, as the island forged 

ahead against a backdrop of national and international challenges. 

Skills and experience , determination and ambition in many fields of economic activity 

in Gozo have been the healthy components of an admirable economic expansion for the 

island’s economy in general. From a situation where Gozo depended for long decades 

on the country’s economic state, we have last year reached gross value-added levels, 

placing Gozo as a contributor of 4.2% to the national economy in recent years. 

Private entrepreneurship, strengthened by numerous financial measures and fiscal 

incentives by Government, are indeed a strong basis for economic growth. In turn this 

directly reflects positively on the social well-being of our families . The Gozo Ministry 

incessantly ensures that tailor-made measures are in place for small and medium 

enterprises to overcome the double insularity challenge towards a level playing-field for 

competitiveness. 

These economic and financial safeguards are coupled with a long list of strong 

investment in capital projects and accompanied by a flourishing activity that promotes 

Gozo as a distinct yearround destination that reached a record of six million passengers 

during 2018. The increasing success within the hospitality sector provide the necessary 

encouragement - both for the Ministry and the private sector - to strive further in the 

coming months and years. 

We encourage and recommend you dedicate your efforts to contribute substantially 

to the quality of the Gozo EXPO by effectively participating in the interchange, thus 

enhancing the professionalism of your organisation. I believe this high-profile event 

can be one of the most productive we have had on in Gozo for a long time and our 

participation will lead to important improvements that will positively impact the Gozitan 

economy, as you accrue the benefits of your involvement. 

Refining our product and promoting it internationally are key factors for sustaining the 

success achieved so far. Gozo Expo 2019 should be yet another effective platform 

towards that end and we hope you will play a key role in the success of this trade fair 

and welcome any opportunities to contribute in this process. 

Sincerely,
