A Monegasque delegation composed of the Attractiveness Department of the Prince’s Government, the Monaco Private Label, the Monaco Economic Board, the Monaco Association for Financial Activities and the Monte-Carlo SBM Group travelled to London to promote the Principality.

The visit to London, from Wednesday, June 12 to Thursday, June 13 had three objectives, the first of which was to convince thirty-odd entrepreneurs and investors interested in the Principality to set up there and generate economic value at a dinner organised by Monaco Private Label.

Meetings with investment funds and financial companies to raise awareness about the advantages of living in the Principality were also on the agenda, as was the delivering of presentations to around sixty UK-based advocates (tax specialists, lawyers, bankers and others) who will in turn promote the Principality to their clients.

After all, the United Kingdom is an important partner that has a lot in common with the Principality of Monaco, including the importance of the financial sector in its economy. British residents make up seven percent of the population in Monaco, making them one of the Principality’s largest communities.

Following the mission to the English capital, Monaco’s Chief Officer for Attractiveness and the Digital Transition, Frédéric Genta commented that “London is a resolutely attractive city for the Principality as the home of world-class entrepreneurs and investors who take an interest in Monaco. Once again, the joint approach taken by Monaco Private Label, the Monaco Economic Board, the Monaco Association for Financial Activities and the Monte-Carlo SBM group proved to be effective.”
