Some 20 Maltese companies from the building and construction sector have taken part in the Libya Build 2012, through the assistance of Malta Enterprise.

The companies 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.

Malta Enterprise also organised an information session for Maltese companies with the Organisation for Development of Administrative Centres, 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.

Malta will also be taking part in the Libyan Healthcare Exhibition 2012 being held in September.

The event is of strategic importance for companies engaged in healthcare in view of the extensive support required by this sector in Libya. It will provide a unique opportunity to establish direct communication with Libyan decision-makers in the healthcare sector and to obtain information on medical needs and planned projects in this field.

Malta Enterprise is currently registering local companies interested in taking part in the event, which may include private hospitals and clinics, pharmaceutical companies, suppliers of medical equipment and products, as well as other medical related service providers.
