“They are very competitive. Last year, their results were better than the previous year. So we wish them the best and hope they give their best,” Didier told the Indo-Asian news agency.
Sumit Anand, Founder of Insight Growth Partners, a leading strategy consulting firm that advises select global and Indian clients on corporate strategy and strategic partnerships, also shares his thoughts with us.
“This is a very important event and it is amazing to see the energy of our young Indian students participating in this very innovative competition. Monaco is famous for its Formula 1 racing, fast cars and exceptional lifestyle,” said Sumit.
“But it is also a center of innovation in energy saving and environmental preservation, because the head of state, Prince Albert II, really emphasizes this. Students from all over the world come to MEBC, not only to go fast on boats, but also to really innovate with new technologies and show how you can do boating and yachting,” Sumit added.
