To maintain its position as leader, today Monaco needs to “demonstrate by example” and support this industry in its transformation and understanding of the challenges ahead, to:
• Strengthen Monaco’s appeal faced with growing international competition, be that in tourism or business terms, by highlighting its many advantages.
• Encourage people to enter this industry through training, which creates jobs.
• Support and promote Monaco’s history of innovation to build a better future for yachting.
• Export its expertise by pushing events that over the years have gained legitimacy and a reputation as being at the cutting edge.
• Foster synergies and coordinate actions with all Monegasque institutions and yachting professionals who already have strong representation internationally.
To affirm Monaco’s position as a centre of excellence and exemplary model in terms of protecting the environment, but also on a societal and educational level, the principle stakeholders signed a Commitment Charter testifying to their involvement in this collective approach.
“The vision is simple: Monaco must always be ahead on economic and environmental issues. We must mobilise all stakeholders. It is an essential factor in our economy’s appeal to business, as the Principality offers an exceptional network of all professions operating in this industry”
