Time to Innovate?
The GFSB Business Innovation Awards are a useful reminder that innovation does not have to mean dramatic reinvention or technology-led disruption. In many cases, the most effective innovations are much simpler than that. They come from businesses paying attention to changing habits, recognising inefficiencies, and making thoughtful adjustments that improve the way they operate.

Food Delivery Rules
Gibraltar’s new Food Delivery Service Regulations are now in force, creating a formal licensing and enforcement framework for food delivery operators. The Government is looking for greater accountability, clearer identification, and more oversight in what it sees as a growing sector. But for businesses already managing operational pressures, the practical impact will matter just as much as the principle.
What if team building encouraged people to step away from their desks and rediscover Gibraltar together? That is the idea behind Hidden Gems, one of this year’s Young Enterprise Gibraltar teams. Created by a group of students balancing school life with entrepreneurship, the concept transforms Gibraltar into a self-guided interactive experience designed to help people uncover overlooked locations, complete challenges, and connect in a more engaging way.
