FinanceMalta will continue to drive its international growth by promoting Malta as an innovative international financial centre, the company has said. FinanceMalta recently sponsored the Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) 2023 International Conference, which brought together captive insurance professionals from around the world to explore new uses of captives, engage new talent and to outline best practices. Elizabeth Carbonaro, chairperson of the Malta Insurance Management Association and regional managing director - Western Europe from Willis Towers Watson Management (Malta) participated in a panel session titled “View from Across the Pond.” The Malta delegation also included Ian-Edward Stafrace, chief strategy officer of Atlas Insurance, Dr Beppe Sammut, legal counsel within the insurance and pensions team at Ganado Advocates, and Andrea Nurchi, senior manager, business development at FinanceMalta. Earlier this year, some of FinanceMalta’s members attended the Insurtech Insights conference in London, from 1 to 2 March. Another event was the HFM European Emerging Manager Summit, held in Surrey, UK. Three FinanceMalta members joined the FinanceMalta delegation. This summer FinanceMalta will attend Money 20/20 Europe to be held between 6 and 8 June in Amsterdam. Another event that FinanceMalta will participate in is the Innovate Finance Global Summit (IFGS) 2023, to be held in London on 17 and 18 April. In its ninth year, the IFGS welcomes delegates to discuss and debate the crucial issues facing the sector. IFGS 2023 convenes industry leaders ranging from innovators, institutions, regulators to policymakers, startups and investors. FinanceMalta is also coordinating the participation of several government entities, fintechs based in Malta, and other FinanceMalta members, to promote the jurisdiction. FinanceMalta chairman George Vella says: “Like last year, FinanceMalta has hit the road running in terms of participation in international events covering a range of industries we promote – from investments and fintech, to insurance and wealth management. “Most importantly, we are joined by several of our members who provide the key expertise which is needed to promote the jurisdiction abroad through their participation in the various discussions and speaking opportunities that such events offer.”
