Mission: To promote and support entrepreneurship
Why?
FPEI believes that entrepreneurial skills are essential for economic growth and generating employment . Entrepreneurship is a mindset, not a status, and FPEI promotes this ideology through its initiatives.
Key Focus Areas:
- Entrepreneurship in Malta: FPEI is committed to cultivating a vibrant entrepreneurial culture in Malta. We encourage and inspire individuals to embark on their entrepreneurial journey, supporting them every step of the way. By fostering a spirit of innovation and creativity, we aim to unlock the full potential of Malta’s entrepreneurial talent.
- Startups in Malta: FPEI recognises the vital role startups play in driving economic growth and job creation. We provide tailored support and guidance to startup founders, helping them navigate the challenges they may encounter along their entrepreneurial path. From mentorship programmes to networking events, we offer a platform for startups to thrive and succeed.
- Freelancers in Malta: We understand the unique challenges faced by freelancers and independent professionals. FPEI is committed to providing freelancers with the necessary support to thrive in their chosen fields. We offer networking opportunities, skill development programmes, and a supportive community to foster their success.
- Access to Finance: We recognise that access to finance is a critical factor for the growth and sustainability of entrepreneurial initiatives. FPEI’s flagship project is the reward and donation-based crowdfunding platform, Zaar, that offers startups, individuals, social enterprises, and voluntary organisations an alternative finance method for raising funds for projects and initiatives. We strive to connect entrepreneurs with the funding opportunities they need to bring their ideas to life.
