Companies seeking to rent an industrial premises can receive a subsidy of up to €75,000 spread over three years.
Addressing a press conference, Minister Miriam Dalli and Malta Enterprise CEO Kurt Farrugia said the scheme was being extended to all companies to help mitigate the rise in freight costs.
