Monaco Economic Board chief Guillaume Rose represented the Principality at the 14th World Chambers Congress in Melbourne from 2nd to 4th September, leveraging the event to expand strategic partnerships and prepare the ground for future economic initiatives.
The Monaco Economic Board (MEB), led by Executive Director General Guillaume Rose, joined more than 1,200 delegates from over a hundred countries at the 14th World Chambers Congress in Melbourne. Held from 2nd to 4th September, the congress offered an exceptional forum for dialogue on themes ranging from ecological transition and artificial intelligence to the evolving role of SMEs.
Targeted discussions pave way for future collaboration
At the Congress, Rose seized the opportunity to conduct numerous bilateral meetings with fellow leaders of Chambers of Commerce. These included representatives from Serbia, Latvia, Qatar, Nigeria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Canada—host to the next Congress in Toronto in 2027—as well as auxiliary talks with International Chamber of Commerce officials, the event’s organisers.
A message of forward‑looking ambition
Speaking on the sidelines of the congress, Rose remarked that the event had been “a unique chance to strengthen our network, spot new opportunities, and prepare ambitious economic missions for the future.” He said that the MEB stands ready to support Monegasque enterprises in scaling their international ambitions through robust and innovative partnerships.
A welcome visit to diplomatic allies
The visit also included a meeting with Melbourne’s Honorary Consul of Monaco, Andrew Cannon, who—with his collaborator Leanne Steinfort—actively promotes the Principality’s interests in Australia. Their involvement deepens Monaco’s visibility within key economic and political spheres in the region, helping to anchor its presence far beyond European borders.
