The Malta Business Bureau is involved in a separate study which is being executed for the DG Education and Culture at the European Commission. Involving thirty-two distinct country partners, this study aims to investigate University-Business Cooperation (UBC) from the perspective of both, seeking clarity on the mechanisms supporting it, as well as on the barriers and challenges it faces.

Through this initiative, the MBB’s close collaboration with the University of Malta, particularly in terms of entrepreneurial initiatives such as the ZAAR Crowdfunding Platform, has been identifies as a local good practice case study.
