A new Medical Cannabis business section has been set up within The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry, together with an election for the Executive Committee.

Perit David Xuereb, President of The Malta Chamber said, “with the setting up of this Business Section, The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry, is once again being proactive in representing a new economic sector.”

He added that, “as had been done in the past with numerous other emerging economic sectors, The Malta Chamber, shall support the operators in this new field as they set-up within a developing legislative framework, as well as identify the correct eco-system to safeguard the sustainable growth of the sector.”

Mr Robert Spiteri, Chairman of the new Executive Committee, expressed his enthusiasm to support the business community within the Medical Cannabis Industry, through The Malta Chamber.

He explained that, “this is the first time such an industry is being set up locally. Hence it is essential to safeguard and develop the sector strategically, with a view to attract further foreign direct investment.”

The Executive Committee is made up of Mr. Robert Spiteri as Chairman (Zenpharm Ltd.), Mr. Adrian Azzopardi as Deputy Chairman (ASG Pharma Ltd.), Mr. Matthew Deguara (Materia Malta Operating Ltd.), Dr. Angele Azzopardi (Natrix Sciences Ltd.), Mr. Christopher Busuttil Delbridge (Evolve), and Mr. Peter Paul Farrugia (A2W Pharma Ltd.).

The Medical Cannabis Business Section follows another two economic sectors which found a new home within The Malta Chamber in the past months, namely a Business Section dedicated to Virtual Financial Assets (VFA) Agents, as well as another dedicated to operators of Care-homes for the Elderly.
