Inizjamed is a voluntary non-governmental cultural organisation (registered as a Voluntary Organisation in Malta, VO/0355) founded in 1998 in Malta that is committed to the regeneration of culture and artistic expression in the Maltese Islands and actively promotes a greater awareness of the cultures of the Mediterranean. Inizjamed is a secular, non-partisan organisation that acknowledges that every generation must seek to create its own language and both respond to realities of its day and look beyond them.

Inizjamed is a project-based organisation whose lean internal structure reflects its emphasis on concrete action and fruitful collaboration with all those with whom it shares common goals. Inizjamed believes that cooperation and partnership are far more effective in the long-term than competition.

The flagship event of Inizjamed is the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival, a multilingual event which runs for a week and invites local and international authors. It is a festival which celebrates literature and translation to understand each other better.
