MEB and Italian Chamber of Commerce in Nice meet to set common objectives

A shared mission to support businesses links these two institutions on the Côte d'Azur who at the Monaco Business fair in October are set to sign an agreement. The goal is to ramp-up their services and momentum gained together to provide members with new local and international opportunities as the recovery takes off.  

Promoting trade between Italy, Monaco and France is the objective set by Monaco Economic Board (MEB) and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Nice to make it easier for foreign companies on the Riviera and in the Principality to set up and grow.

This collaboration, the result of a meeting between MEB Executive Director General Guillaume Rose and Italy’s Ambassador in Monaco, H.E. Mr Giulio Alaimo, aims to further boost trade between Monaco and Italy with the focus being on Italian investors. “We are delighted to forge these closer ties with the Italian Chamber of Commerce. Italy is number two after France in terms of trade with the Principality. After such a difficult period we are very positive for the future, the recovery is here and we are delighted to be able to count on the Italian Chamber of Commerce,” explains MEB Deputy Director Justin Highman.

Justin Highman and Italian Chamber Director Agostino Pesce formalised the partnership on Wednesday 2 June at an event celebrating the Republic of Italy’s National Day. It is a unique opportunity for Italian, Monegasque and French companies to grow and develop their markets. Having already organised a joint webinar in April, the two organisations will be working much closer together. As when MEB signed an agreement with the CCI Nice Côte d’Azur at the 2020 Monaco Business fair, the signing of this one will see the two organisations share a stand at the 2021 edition, as well as events.
