Malta Chamber of SMEs hosts inspiring Women in Business event

The Malta Chamber of SMEs, in collaboration with SHE: Social Hub Entrepreneurs, proudly hosted Give To Gain 2026, bringing together more than 100 women in business for a powerful and energising morning marking International Women’s Day.

From the moment participants entered the room, the atmosphere reflected the spirit of collaboration and empowerment that defines this annual initiative. The event went beyond traditional networking, it created a space where women openly shared experiences, challenged ideas, supported one another, and engaged in meaningful conversations aimed at strengthening Malta’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

A highlight of the morning was the keynote delivered by Rebecca Bonnici of BELS English Language Schools. Her honest and powerful reflections resonated strongly with attendees, reinforcing the message that leadership is not about perfection but about lived experiences, resilience, and authenticity.

The interactive “Teach One Thing” sessions, facilitated by Helen Chorley, Markita Falzon, Giselle Borg Olivier, Shaylah Grech, Ayla Haverkamp, Olga Albers, Angela Tabone, Greta Rapinett, and Carolina Benetti, created dynamic spaces for knowledge-sharing and genuine exchange. Their contributions helped foster the collaborative environment that defines the Give To Gain initiative.

The SME Chamber also extends sincere appreciation to Angie Amato for hosting the gathering at the stunning Palazzo Guarena, and to Elaine Cordina for closing the morning with a thoughtful reflection that captured the essence of the event.

This year’s edition was made possible thanks to the support of partners including FIMBank, JOI Gaming Ltd, European Parliament in Malta, Carisma Collections, M&Z Ltd, Equipp.mt, Crispy Studio Ltd, The Blooming Bunch, L’OCCITANE en Provence, VJ Salomone Marketing, People And Skin, Villa Arrigo and Citadel Insurance.

Give To Gain 2026 once again demonstrated the strength of community-driven growth. When women show up, share knowledge, and open doors for one another, they create impact that extends far beyond a single event.

The Malta Chamber of SMEs remains committed to nurturing platforms that empower entrepreneurs, strengthen networks, and champion inclusive economic growth and this year’s gathering was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved together.
