The Miami-Dade Beacon Council recently traveled to Monaco for the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous (M3 Monaco), hosted by the Yacht Club de Monaco. It was a incredible opportunity to elevate our region’s economic presence abroad and deepen global discussions on expanding our marine and maritime sectors—building directly on the organic strengths of Greater Miami’s world-class waterfront.
A few key takeaways from the trip:
🌊 Shaping Resilient Investment: With the event centered on smart, sustainable marina development, the conversations and strategies shared are directly informing how we approach resilience, sustainability, and long-term capital investment in our local coastal economy.
🎙️ “The Trillion-Euro Asset Class”: Our President & CEO, Rodrick Miller, joined an esteemed panel of international marina investors and operators to discuss “The Trillion-Euro Asset Class: A New Era of Marina Investment.” Rod shared insights on what makes Miami-Dade a premier destination for global capital, the drivers behind our recent economic growth, and the lessons other waterfront cities can take from our public-private model.
🌎 The “Miami Effect” on the Global Stage: Throughout the Rendezvous, it was inspiring to hear Miami spontaneously referenced time and again as the benchmark market—the global point of reference that other international hubs measure themselves against.
🤝 Local Partnerships, Global Impact: We were glad to see Sam Payrovi, CEO of
@arkhaus.club, the innovative team behind the floating solar-powered club off the MacArthur Causeway. Showing up together internationally reinforced that Greater Miami moves as a unified, forward-looking ecosystem.
As we continue to position Miami-Dade as a top-tier destination for international trade, maritime innovation, and sustainable investment, moments like M3 ensure our region remains at the center of global economic growth.
Thank you to the event organizers and leaders who made this convening possible:
