💻 Strengthening the Gozo Business Chamber’s Digital Capacity

The Gozo Business Chamber has invested in new ICT equipment to further strengthen its operational capacity and support its work both in Gozo and beyond.

The new equipment will provide greater flexibility and mobility, particularly when Chamber representatives participate in meetings and activities in Malta and abroad. It will also support the Chamber’s day-to-day work and provide additional resources for volunteers and students undertaking placements with the Chamber.

This investment will enable the Chamber to continue strengthening its services, representation and engagement on behalf of the Gozitan business community. 🤝

This initiative is being supported by the Ministry for Gozo’s NGO Scheme, a funding programme for Voluntary Organisations on the Island of Gozo.

🚀 YOUTH4ENTREPRENEURSHIP GOZO 2026 IS HERE! 💡

The Gozo Business Chamber is pleased to launch this year’s edition of Youth4Entrepreneurship Gozo, focusing on the theme:

🌐 Digital Solutions for a Smarter Island

This year, we are challenging young people to develop innovative, digital-based business ideas that respond to real issues affecting Gozo.

Participants are invited to explore solutions within three key areas:

🔹 Accessibility - improving connectivity, mobility and access to services in Gozo;
🔹 Ageing Population - supporting active, healthy and independent ageing through digital solutions;
🔹 Youth Participation - creating new ways for young people to engage, participate and contribute to their communities.

The initiative is open to young people aged 16–35 residing in the Maltese Islands. You do not need to be Gozitan, but your idea must have a clear and practical application to Gozo.

🧠 Participants will also have the opportunity to benefit from training, expert guidance and mentoring as they develop their ideas and prepare their pitch.

🏆 Shortlisted participants will present their proposals during the Youth4Entrepreneurship Gozo Final on Friday, 6 November 2026 at 19:00 before a panel of evaluators.

Whether you have an idea for an app, platform, digital service, AI-powered solution or another innovative concept that could make a positive difference to Gozo, we want to hear from you!

📢Preparatory workshops by Aġenzija Żgħażagħ will be conducted in the coming weeks. Further details on this and also how to apply can be found here https://gozobusinesschamber.org/event/youth4entrepreneurship-gozo-2026/
