MEB Member’s Meeting reveals packed schedule

The Monaco Economic Board met on Tuesday for their 39th annual Member’s Meeting at the Yacht Club of Monaco, with over 220 entrepreneurs in attendance.

Now that summer is over, it’s back to business for the members of the Monaco Economic Board (MEB). On Tuesday 14th September, they met for their annual Member’s Meeting where Executive General Director Guillaume Rose presented the organisations upcoming events, highlighted what the MEB offers adherents, and spoke of the variety of collaborations being displayed with regard to the digital and energy transitions taking place in Monaco.

The health pass obligation and the requirement that guests stand rather than be seated did not seem to deter the assembled group who were just pleased to be carrying on a semblance of business as usual.

President Michel Dotta delivered a welcome speech followed by Mr Rose’s plan of action for the upcoming year, which included economic conferences with renowned speakers such as Jean-Pierre Petit, President of the Cahiers Verts de l’Économie on 17th September, Ludovic Subran, Chief Economist of the Allianz Group on 14th October, and a destination conference dedicated business in Singapore with Ruchdi Hajjar of SGMC Capital on 23rd September.
