Keen interest for Maltese companies’ offering in Libya

Around 20 Maltese companies from the building and construction sector have been assisted by Malta Enterprise to participate in the Libya Build 2012, where they had the opportunity to showcase their products and services, establish relations with their Libyan counterparts and explore business prospects within post-revolution Libya.

The companies - which operate in a wide range of sectors, such as lifts and electromechanical systems, construction materials, furniture and fittings, environmental solutions, turnkey contractors and project management, paints, printing, aluminium, as well as garages, doors and windows - reported good interest in their offering.

Indeed, they were kept busy throughout the entire event held at the Tripoli International Fairground over a span of five days between May 20th and 24th, 2012 and shall now be following up on the business leads they established.

Likewise, the Malta Enterprise representative at the Commercial Office in Tripoli, who was also present at the event, had several meetings to promote the trade opportunities that Malta offers to Libyan companies as well as the assistance and support that companies operating in Malta may benefit from.

Malta Enterprise also organized an information session for Maltese companies with the Organization for Development of Administrative Centers (ODAC), which executes a wide range of public projects particularly the strategic and major infrastructural projects, as well as a networking session for Maltese and Austrian businesses in collaboration with the Austrian Embassy in Libya.

With infrastructure projects being among the Libya's priorities after months of unrest, Libya Build provided the ideal setting for those enterprises looking at opportunities within a market that is seeking to establish itself as one of the most advanced in the region.
