At the first Monaco Boost Office Allocation Meeting, Jean Castellini, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, chaired with Stefan Valerie, Chairman of the National Council.

Results
Our of all dossiers reviewed 48% of the companies are in the start-up phase and 52% are young developing enterprises in different sectors. Most applicants wish to use the offered locations to organise a recruitment office in the short or medium term. Unfortunately, in the midst of a pandemic, a small number of entrepreneurs are ready to ask for a place for the long term.
The installation of the selected entrepreneurs is planned for this April 2021. They would thus benefit from the creation of a working environment conducive to the development of new enterprises and the creation of synergies.
