The Malta Business Bureau was founded in October 1996 as the European Affairs Office of the Malta Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise (MCCE) and the Malta Federation of Industry (FOI). These two organizations along the years felt the need to cooperate at an international/European level given Malta's gradual integration into the European Union. On the 6th May 2004, the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) also became a parent organization of the MBB at a ceremony inaugurated by the signing of a public deed.

After in depth discussions and negotiations between the Malta Chamber and the FOI, a merger between these two organizations took place in January 2009. The organization is now known as the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry after more than 80% of both Malta Chamber and FOI members approved the merger in September 2008.

The Malta Business Bureau thus represents the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry and the Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association in Brussels and Malta, by liaising directly with their European counterpart organizations including Eurochambres, BusinessEurope and HOTREC, on all policy and funding issues which have a direct effect on Maltese Business.

The MBB is currently composed of two offices, the Head Office in Malta and the Representation Office in Brussels, where Mr. Joe Tanti is the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Omar Cutajar is the Permanent Delegate in Brussels.
