IN A NUTSHELL

After a month of November marked by numerous activities and international engagements, the MEB is entering December with the same momentum and several upcoming events.

In November, an economic mission was organized in Paraguay from the 2nd to the 5th on the occasion of the official visit of H.S.H. Prince Albert II. Then the Principality was represented at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, while a Slovak delegation was welcomed to Monaco on Wednesday the 12th. The Africa Day forum took place on Monday the 17th, followed by a Business Destination conference dedicated to Switzerland on Tuesday the 18th. Finally, the economic mission to Jeddah, organised from the 23rd to the 27th as part of the continuation of the MEB’s Middle East cycle, brought the month to a close.

In December, the English-language conference by Edmund Shing will take place on Thursday the 4th, and the year will end on a high note with the Club Eco Monaco Awards ceremony on Monday the 15th at the Grimaldi Forum.

You will also find in this newsletter our new members, reports on recent activities, and the IMSEE section.

Enjoy your reading!
