One of the objectives of MFPA is to develop initiatives and collaboration with member EU states. It constantly strives to be a catalyst in the social aspect of Maltese community and economy and is actively involved in social dialogue. For this purpose, in 2018 it partnered with Confprofessioni on an EU funded project (VS/2017/0359) regarding social dialogue. As part of this project, a business breakfast was held in collaboration with the Malta Business Weekly on ‘Sustainability Measures to Protect Employment’. The programme included:

• Introductions by Ms Rachel Attard, Editor-in-Chief at The Malta Independent, Mr Benjamin Rizzo, President MFPA and Dr Enrico Tezza from Confprofessioni, the leader of the project.
• Presentation by Mr Gordon Cordina, Executive Director E-Cubed consultants, on The Sustainability of Employment in Malta
• Panel discussion by Mr Joseph Farrugia, Director General Malta Employers’ Association, Ms Helga Ellul, Director Advise Ltd and Mr Clyde Caruana, CEO Jobsplus, followed by an open floor discussion. Both discussions were moderated by Mr Neil Camilleri, News editor at The Malta Independent.
