The Monaco Economic Board met on Tuesday for their 39^th 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 14^th 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.

An economic mission to Antwerp is scheduled from 28^th to 30^th September and several trips are being planned to go to Dubai, particularly during the Expo 2020. They will be hosting a delegation from Austria on 8^th and 9^th November as well as during the Ambassador’s Gala of Destination Monaco on 4^th December.

The MEB will also be present at the 10^th Eco Monaco Cub Trophies on 30^th November.
