As part of its mandate to promote Monaco abroad and in line with previous missions, the Attractiveness Department, accompanied by a Monegasque delegation led by Frédéric Genta, Country Chief Officer for Attractiveness and the Digital Transition, travelled to Athens on 9 and 10 July.

This mission’s goal was to consolidate ties between the Principality of Monaco and Greece and explore new opportunities to work together. Certain historians say that the name ‘Monaco’ is derived from the Greek word ‘Monoïkos’, underlining the deep roots shared by the two countries. The Greek community is the 11th largest community in the Principality (IMSEE).

The delegation, composed of representatives from the public and private sectors (SBM Group, Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (SEPM), the Monaco Economic Board, the Monaco Association for Financial Activities (AMAF) and Monaco Private Label) was received by Dr. Vassili Apostolopoulos, the Honorary Consul of Monaco in Greece. Frédéric Genta met with Dr Dionysia-Theodora Avgerinopoulou, Member of the Hellenic Parliament and the Greek Prime Minister’s Special Envoy for the Ocean. Delegation members also held talks with business leaders, entrepreneurs and other influential figures. The discussions highlighted several opportunities for cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the areas of investment, yachting, tourism and real estate. Through exchanges with the local press, the mission was an opportunity to raise awareness about the Principality and its potential for economic stakeholders in Greece.
