GO-ON GROUP - Gianluca Fossat CEO We are proud to be present at Business Talks Monaco because 2020 has been very challenging for all of us confronting first time with a global Pandemic event for our generation. During the past 12 month we realize also how important are social relationship in private and in business, contributing to our personal mind wellness and to our professional development. Energy transition is a mix of improved more efficient way of consuming energy and more efficient way to produce it. We see BTM as a powerful vehicle of communication between operators and investors. Upcoming investment in renewables such as Wind, Biogas, Hydropower, Hydrogen and few other technologies, with several projects will come to life contributing to create value and jobs involving the industry operators in different phases of the production chain. The Yachting industry is currently facing challenges to comply with new more strict rules in term of sustainability with positive impact not only on the environment but also in the manufacturing with new investment on the existing and new fleets in order to comply with the new rules. Merger & Acquisition will become more and more a vehicle of development connecting small and medium innovative corporation to large corporations, to finance seeking finally new area of investment in order to be able to create value. Share ideas and create synergies is our core value and therefore Business Talks is the perfect place for us to be.

Effective communication, coordination, and planning will enable us to achieve sustainability and growth for our businesses and forge strong partnerships that will withstand the challenges we face. “Business Talks” provides this platform for us to work together as global-thinking leaders. It is my pleasure to extend an invitation to all of you to visit my country, Saudi Arabia, during the “Business Talks” event in October. A country with great ambition, a young and dynamic population, and rich with history and culture. The country’s Vision 2030 creates endless opportunities for investments and partnerships. From NEOM; a brand new futuristic city, to the Red Sea project; a luxury vacation destination that is 100% green, to the most significant industrial cities in the world. Whatever industry you are in, there is a potential market for you in Saudi Arabia.

In the end, I’d like to thank all the sponsors and the organizers for their fantastic job of bringing us together today. I wish all of you continued success and prosperity.

NPD - Marco Ramundo CEO Nowadays we are experiencing an extraordinarily intense moment of social, technological and economic changes. In particular, the super yacht industry is affected both by green technological evolution, with the advent of alternative ecosustainable propulsions, and by changes in the geographical and purchasing dynamics of UHNWs. In fact the Far East market is slowly taking shape and yacht owners living in that area will be looking for products and services tailored to their needs. Last but not least, the uncertainties brought by the pandemic are already causing changes in clients’ behaviour which will be possible to understand only over time and with a careful analysis of the all the available data. Looking at this scenario from an entrepreneurial point of view, we see great risks for companies that are not willing to react quickly and at the same time we expect great opportunities for success and growth for those who will know how to ride the wave of change.

We, at NPD, believe this moment of great changes represents a unique opportunity not to be missed for selecting high potential business opportunities and for this reason we are happy and honoured to take part in Business Talk 2021 to discuss all this with a selected and very high level audience.
