The Monaco International Investment Forum (MIIF) will return to Dubai on 18th November for a second edition, held at the Bvlgari Yacht Club, as the Monaco-founded event deepens its reach into the Gulf.

MIIF brings together investors, entrepreneurs, family offices, private equity leaders and senior decision-makers for a day of dealmaking and high-level networking. Founded in Monaco and led by Raffaello Cairoli, it holds its main editions each spring at the Yacht Club de Monaco. The fifth, in March, drew more than 600 guests, among them over 50 single family offices.

From Monaco to the Gulf

The Dubai editions are the forum’s move beyond the Principality. The first, at the same Bvlgari Yacht Club in November 2025, brought together more than 450 investors, family offices and business leaders and, organisers say, confirmed the emirate as a natural extension of the platform. The second aims to build further on the connection between two of the world’s busiest financial centres, strengthening ties between Europe, Monaco and the Gulf Cooperation Council across private equity, venture capital, emerging technologies, sustainable finance and wealth management.

Registration and sponsorship

Early-bird registration for MIIF Dubai 2026 is open, with sponsorship and exhibition places also available. As at its Monaco events, attendance is selective, with organisers vetting both companies and individuals before granting access.

The expansion fits a wider effort by Monaco to present itself as a hub for wealth management, family offices and cross-border investment, and to deepen its links with the Gulf, a relationship the Principality has been actively courting.
