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:

  1. 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 through our community Future Founders Plus. By fostering a spirit of innovation and creativity, we aim to unlock the full potential of Malta’s entrepreneurial talent.

  2. Startups in Malta: FPEI recognises the vital role startups play in driving economic growth and job creation. We provide 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 initiatives for startups to thrive and succeed.

  3. 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.

  4. Access to Finance: We recognise that access to finance is a critical factor for the growth and sustainability of entrepreneurial initiatives. FPEI’s initial flagship project is the rewards 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.

Founding Partners

FPEI was established in 2015 through the esteemed collaboration between the University of Malta (UM) and
the Malta Business Foundation, aka Malta Business Bureau (MBB).
