Description

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF MÁLAGA

The Chamber is a Corporation under Public Law that is legally set up as a consultative body working in collaboration with the Public Administration, the purpose of which is the representation, promotion and defence of the general interests of trade, industry and shipping, as well as to provide services to companies engaged in those fields of business.

Members of the Chamber include any individual or corporation, whether Spanish or foreign, carrying out commercial, industrial or shipping activities in Málaga, and therefore subject to Business Tax  [Impuesto de Actividades Económicas].

The work of the Chamber is based on two ideas: to administer public funding using business criteria and to return, in the form of services, the contributions that the companies make to the Chamber.

The main lines of action are:
- To encourage business vocations and the creation of companies.
- To collaborate actively in the process of simplifying the formalities in setting up a business.
- To bring the small and medium business into the information society.
- To promote innovation in busineses.
- To optimise and diversify its activity in promoting foreign trade and making companies more internationally operative.
- To re-establish and encourage Professional and Business Training.
- To modernise and act as a backup for commercial structure and trade activity.
- To operate and develop backup programmes for companies.

From the Chamber of Commerce of Málaga, in order to achieve these objectives, our work is based principally on four pillars: creation and consolidation of businesses, new technologies, internationalisation and training.
