Bahrain Economic Development Board Concludes Visit to France & Monaco

A High-level delegation from the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), led by Sustainable Development Minister and EDB chief executive officer Noor Al Khulaif, has concluded a strategic four-day visit to France and Monaco aimed at boosting bilateral economic ties and attracting foreign investment.

During the French leg of the tour, the delegation engaged with international business leaders and leveraged Bahrain’s pavilion at the Tour de France 2026 to connect with global investors.

In Monaco, Ms Al Khulaif held talks with Foreign Affairs and Co-operation Minister Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, Invest Monaco chief executive officer Ludmilla Raconnat Le Goff and key financial officials to explore trade and investment opportunities in tourism, hospitality, and education. The delegation also met with representatives from over 20 Monegasque companies.

Highlighting the deepening commercial links between the nations, luxury brand APM Monaco recently opened its first flagship store in Bahrain, while sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat partnered with French firm TRAIL to invest in the SLAM Fund - a private equity venture targeting the sports, luxury, art and music sectors.
