Monaco’s Growing International Community and the Power of Connecting with Club Vivanova

Monaco’s Growing International Community and the Power of Connecting with Club Vivanova

Monaco Nears 39,000 Residents as International Business & Social Networking Continues to Thrive. Join Club Vivanova and become part of Monaco’s expanding international business and social community through exclusive events, premium networking and luxury experiences across the Principality and the Riviera.

Monaco’s resident population continues to grow, reaching 38,857 inhabitants at the close of 2025, according to the latest IMSEE census report. With 144 nationalities now represented across the Principality, Monaco further strengthens its reputation as one of the world’s leading centres for international business, luxury lifestyle and global connectivity. As Monaco’s international community expands, organisations such as Club Vivanova continue to play an important role in supporting business and social networking across the Principality and the Riviera.

The latest demographic figures published by IMSEE highlight Monaco’s continued evolution as a vibrant international hub, with the population increasing by 434 residents during 2025. The Principality now stands on the threshold of 39,000 residents, reflecting sustained confidence in Monaco as a premier destination for entrepreneurs, investors, executives and international families.

As Monaco attracts an increasingly international audience, the importance of high-level business and social networking continues to grow. Established organisations such as Club Vivanova have become an integral part of the Principality’s professional and social landscape, connecting entrepreneurs, executives, luxury brands and international residents through premium events and strategic partnerships.

Monegasques remain the largest nationality group, representing 24 percent of the population, followed by French and Italian residents, while British residents recorded the strongest annual increase. The data also confirms Monaco’s truly cosmopolitan identity, with 144 nationalities living within its two-square-kilometre territory.

Monte-Carlo and La Rousse remain the most populated districts, while ongoing residential development continues to support the Principality’s expanding community. The increase in housing stock and continued arrival of international residents further reinforce Monaco’s status as a secure and highly desirable place to live, work and invest.

The census also points to an ageing but increasingly balanced population. The average age now stands at 47.2 years, while nearly 5,800 residents are aged 75 or over. Women account for 50.8 percent of the population, compared with 49.2 percent men, continuing a long-term move towards gender parity.

More than 2,700 adult foreign residents have settled in Monaco since 2023, led by arrivals from France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Russia and Switzerland. The report also notes that more than one-third of working-age residents hold salaried employment within the Principality.

Housing stock also increased, with 22,577 residential units recorded in 2025, up 1.8 percent in one year. More than 80 percent are private dwellings, while state-owned housing accounts for 19.4 percent of the total, with the highest concentrations in Fontvieille, Jardin Exotique and La Condamine.

The 2025 census is the third compiled under Monaco’s register-based system, introduced in 2023 to provide annual demographic updates using administrative data rather than traditional field surveys.

With Monaco entering another period of demographic growth and international expansion, the Principality’s future as a world-leading centre for business, luxury and lifestyle has never looked stronger.

Join Club Vivanova and become part of Monaco’s expanding international business and social community through exclusive events, premium networking and luxury experiences across the Principality and the Riviera.

Four Cities - One Person - Zero Compromise

Four Cities - One Person - Zero Compromise

Paris in bloom. Marrakech at golden hour. Monaco, discreet and exacting. Saint-Tropez, waking up for the season. May is when everything begins — and when the right presence makes all the difference.

BY THE CONCIERGERIE SOCIETY · PARIS · MARRAKECH · MONACO · SAINT-TROPEZ

May is the month that separates those who live well from those who live exceptionally. The calendar fills. The cities come alive. And for those moving between worlds — between a Paris board meeting and a Monaco dinner, between a Marrakech riad and a Saint-Tropez terrace — the difference between a beautiful experience and an unforgettable one comes down to a single question:

Who is handling this?

PARIS

The city at its most alive; art, fashion, business, pleasure. Impossible tables, private viewings, and a pace that forgives no one who is unprepared.

MARRAKECH

Golden light, the last cool evenings before summer, riads hidden from every guidebook. A city that rewards those who know where to look.

MONACO

Discreet, precise, exacting. Where everything runs perfectly if you have the right connections. Where nothing does, if you don't.

SAINT-TROPEZ

The season is beginning. The beaches, the boats, the Caves du Roy at midnight. Summer's finest address, and the hardest to navigate without someone already inside it.

ONE POINT OF CONTACT. FOUR CITIES. ALWAYS PRESENT.

The Conciergerie Society was founded on a conviction that runs against the grain of modern luxury: that what people truly want is not a platform, not a team, not a rotating roster of assistants — but one person. Someone they know. Someone who knows them. Someone who picks up the phone.

In each of our four cities, that means something specific. In Paris, it is being three steps ahead of a schedule that never stops moving. In Marrakech, it is knowing the city beyond what any concierge desk will tell you. In Monaco, it is the discretion and precision the principality demands. In Saint-Tropez, it is already having the relationships — with the right villas, the right boats, the right people — before the season begins.

"We do not manage from a distance. We are there — in person, present, moving with our clients when the moment calls for it."

BECAUSE PERFECTION IS NOT OCCASIONAL

What we have learned, across years and across cities, is that trust is built in the small moments as much as the grand ones. The transfer that was exactly on time. The table that appeared when it should not have been possible. The problem solved before it became one.

Perfection is not a promise we make once. It is a habit — the standard we apply to every request, in every city, every single time.

If May is the beginning of your most important season — in business, in life, in the places that matter most to you — we would be honoured to be the person you call first.

Proud partners of Club Vivanova, sharing its commitment to excellence, connection, and the belief that the finest experiences are always built on trust.

Maas Mentoring: The Level Where Change Actually Happens

The Level Where Change Actually Happens

Many challenges in leadership, organisations and high-functioning individuals do not arise from a lack of competence, motivation or insufficient reflection.

They arise because work is done on the wrong level.

I work with executives, HR professionals, interim managers and high-functioning individuals when:

– single people consistently block progress
– decisions are repeatedly postponed or endlessly revisited
– tensions are clearly felt but difficult to pinpoint
– coaching, conversations or therapy are correct, yet ineffective

In these situations, the cause is often not current behaviour and not conscious thinking.
It lies in old inner decisions that once made sense – and still operate unnoticed.

This level cannot be reached through motivation or additional measures.
But it can be clarified precisely.

My work is not therapy.
Not a coaching programme.
Not personal optimisation.

It is focused clarification work on the level of inner stability and self-leadership – where decisions become free again and agency returns.

I deliberately work with a limited number of people who carry responsibility and are not looking for more concepts, but for clarity at the decisive point.

If you recognise yourself in this description, a structured clarification conversation may be useful. Not as a commitment, but to determine whether this is where the leverage lies.

Another Unforgettable Club Vivanova Charity Gala in Monaco: Supporting Vital Causes Once Again

Another Unforgettable Club Vivanova Charity Gala in Monaco: Supporting Vital Causes Once Again

Monaco, Saturday 1st November 2025 – Club Vivanova extends its heartfelt thanks to all attendees, VIP guests, charity supporters, models, backstage teams, and media partners who contributed to the overwhelming success of the 2025 Charity Gala held in Monaco. View the 2025 Gala Image Gallery

This prestigious event was honoured by the presence of Her Serene Highness Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, whose support and involvement helped elevate the evening. The gala brought together an inspiring group of influential leaders, philanthropists, and media figures united in their commitment to driving positive change within the community.

The generosity shown by everyone involved, both in terms of time and resources, made the evening truly unforgettable. The funds raised through the event will directly benefit two exceptional organisations: Ecoute Cancer Réconfort and Fight Aids Monaco—both of which provide critical support to individuals facing cancer and HIV/AIDS.

With the auction alone raising more than €26,000, the proceeds will help these charities continue their vital work in providing comfort, care, and a path to hope for those in need.

Club Vivanova remains deeply committed to fostering compassion, empowerment, and social impact, and is profoundly grateful for the dedication of all those who made this year's gala such a resounding success.

Mosaiko Enterprise & Club Vivanova: A Strategic Bridge Between Italy and Monaco

Mosaiko Enterprise & Club Vivanova: A Strategic Bridge Between Italy and the Principality of Monaco

For several years, Mosaiko Enterprise has been collaborating with Club Vivanova, sharing a clear vision: to create value through relationships, the quality of experiences, and a business community built on trust and synergy. Over time, this partnership has evolved into an official collaboration, with Mosaiko Enterprise becoming an official partner of Club Vivanova, with the goal of fostering tangible connections between Italian companies and the economic network of the Principality of Monaco.

Founded in Italy by Guglielmo Esposito and Luca Ferraro, Mosaiko Enterprise is a company specialized in event management, corporate hospitality, and brand experience. Today, the company stands as a reference point for Italian enterprises seeking to promote themselves or establish a presence in Monaco, offering strategic visibility, networking, and institutional relations during world-class events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Monaco Yacht Show, and the corporate seasons at the Fairmont Monte Carlo.

“Collaborating with Club Vivanova means sharing a common philosophy: to enhance businesses through authentic relationships and prestigious contexts,” explains Guglielmo Esposito, Founder of Mosaiko Enterprise. “Over the years, we’ve built a partnership grounded in trust and vision — an ecosystem where business meets hospitality, and networking becomes a true experience of value.”

Interview with Guglielmo Esposito, Founder of Mosaiko Enterprise

Guglielmo, how did the collaboration between Mosaiko Enterprise and Club Vivanova begin?
It began quite naturally — through mutual respect and shared values.
I already knew Club Vivanova and admired its ability to connect people and businesses through an elegant yet concrete approach to networking.
Over time, we realised that our visions were perfectly aligned: building authentic relationships and real opportunities, starting from human value before economic interest.
Today, that collaboration has become a solid partnership based on respect, professionalism, and trust.

Monaco represents an international stage for business and communication. How does Mosaiko contribute to this ecosystem?
Monaco is a crossroads of cultures, entrepreneurs, and opportunities.
Mosaiko Enterprise positions itself as a strategic bridge between Italy and the Principality, offering Italian companies the chance to connect with Monaco’s economic environment, promote their brands in high-profile contexts, and develop long-term synergies. We achieve this through experiential formats that combine hospitality, events, and networking, thanks to the work of an internal division coordinated by our project manager, Raffaele Rippa, who oversees every operational and relational detail.
Our goal is to help Italian companies bring their way of doing business here — preserving their identity while opening up to a global market.

In your opinion, what is the key to building meaningful relationships in the world of business and hospitality?
The key is consistency. It’s not enough to create events; you have to create authentic relationships, based on listening, trust, and a shared vision.
I strongly believe in the concept of being together: it’s not just our claim, but a true philosophy of work and growth. Mosaiko was born to unite different pieces — people, skills, and territories — and make them interact harmoniously.
When that happens, you don’t just create business; you create value. And value lasts.

Is there someone who played a particularly significant role in your journey with Club Vivanova?
Yes, absolutely — Bradley Mitton. I want to express my sincere gratitude to him, as I’ve often said that he represents my professional role model.
His ability to create genuine connections, to elevate brands, and to bring together different worlds with both style and substance has been a constant source of inspiration for me.
I believe that people like Bradley add value not only to events, but to the very way we do business — with ethics, elegance, and vision.

Today, the partnership between Mosaiko Enterprise and Club Vivanova stands as a meeting point between Italian excellence and international spirit, between entrepreneurial substance and the culture of hospitality. A model that looks to the future with a simple yet powerful belief: being together to grow together.

Tradepass Review - U.S. Tax Compliance for Monaco Banks and Investment Funds

U.S. Tax Compliance for Monaco Banks and Investment Funds

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) imposes comprehensive due diligence, withholding, and reporting obligations on foreign financial institutions (FFIs) that hold U.S. accounts. Since Monaco has not signed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the United States, Monaco banks and investment funds generally fall under the non-IGA FATCA framework, governed by the FFI Agreement outlined in IRS Revenue Procedure 2014-38.

While compliance with U.S. FATCA requirements may seem daunting and expensive, it is important to note that it often leads to significant benefits, including efficient access to American financial markets. In the absence of a specific agreement with the IRS, clients of the Monaco financial institution may be subject to a 30% withholding tax on certain U.S.-source payments. This is technically referred to as “Chapter 4 Withholding” and cannot be overridden by any Income Tax Treaty.

1. Who Must Comply?

All Monegasque entities that qualify as foreign financial institutions (FFIs) must either:

- Enter into an FFI Agreement with the IRS as a Participating FFI, or

- Qualify for and certify as a deemed-compliant FFI, if eligible.

An FFI typically includes:

- Banks and deposit-taking institutions

- Custodians and brokers

- Investment funds

- Certain insurance companies

 2. FATCA Registration Steps for Monegasque FFIs

Step 1: Determine FFI Classification 

Classify your entity according to IRS definitions. Most banks and funds will be classified as FFIs, not NFFEs (non-financial foreign entities).

Step 2: Register with the IRS

- Use Form 8957 through the FATCA Registration Portal. 

- Designate a Responsible Officer (RO). 

- Identify and register all relevant branches, including those in Monaco.

Step 3: Receive a GIIN

Once approved, your institution will receive a Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN) and be listed on the IRS FFI List.

 3. Key Compliance Obligations Under the FFI Agreement

As a Participating FFI, you agree to:

Due Diligence 

- Classify all account holders and payees. 

- Identify: 

  - U.S. accounts 

  - Nonparticipating FFIs 

  - Recalcitrant account holders 

- Apply specific documentation and verification procedures (e.g., Form W-8BEN-E, self-certifications).

Withholding

- Impose a 30% withholding tax on U.S.-source payments to: 

  - Recalcitrant account holders 

  - Nonparticipating FFIs 

- Withholding on foreign passthru payments is deferred until regulations are finalized.

Reporting 

- Annually report: 

  - U.S. account holder details (Form 8966) 

  - Aggregate information for recalcitrant accounts 

- File Form 1042 for payments and withholding, as applicable.

Compliance Program 

- Appoint a Compliance Official within your organization (if applicable). 

- Maintain written procedures. 

- Ensure systems to monitor changes in account holder status. 

- Certify compliance every three years (or more frequently if required).

U.S. Treasury Regulations offer several important exceptions specifically designed for smaller Monegasque institutions that may qualify for deemed-compliant status, thereby avoiding the costs associated with a FATCA compliance program:

a)         Certified Deemed-Compliant Local FF 

  Conditions include: 

  - 95% of account holders are Monegasque residents. 

  - No U.S. account holders with balances over $50,000. 

  - No custodial or investment advisory services. 

  - No affiliations with foreign FFIs. 

b)        Owner-Documented FFI 

  Applicable for small entities sponsored by withholding agents, with a transparent ownership structure and no custodial functions.

These exceptions require certification and are valid only if IRS conditions are met and maintained.

 Common Pitfalls to Avoid

- Failing to classify accounts correctly or update documentation.

- Missing deadlines for filing Form 8966 or Form 1042.

- Assuming Monaco’s bank secrecy laws override U.S. tax law—they do not.

- Not identifying and registering limited branches, which exposes the group to risk.

Possible Penalties for Noncompliance with IRS Agreement

It is crucial to understand that U.S. tax laws impose significant penalties for noncompliance if a Monegasque bank or investment fund fails to meet regulations and specifically:

 - Fails to register, or

- Defaults on the FFI Agreement, or

- Does not properly withhold or report,

“My full name is Alessandra though my English friends call me Alex. I live in the heart of the French Riviera, half Irish and half French from my Mum. They say the Irish is the twinkle in my eyes though I guess I got that from my Dad. I’ve been singing since I was 3 years old. My Mum & Dad always knew where to find me, sitting in front of the TV singing along with every show. The French Riviera is just great, my paradise. Swimming in the sea in the summer. Snowboarding in the winter. I am gigging around this part of France most of the year, from St Tropez to Monaco. Me and the boys get to play some amazing venues such as the Jazz Festival in Juan Le Pins & the Sporting Club in Monaco.

One of our favourites is the Bar American at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. This place has atmosphere big time. All the greats have sung on the stage from Sinatra to Lady Gaga and I can really feel the vibe when I am performing.”
