Mauritius is buzzing with more than just tourists! A tropical mix of sunshine, sustainable growth, bold startups, and big ambitions is all set to shape the island’ s future. Turns out, we’ re not just about golden beaches … we’ ve got steely resolve too!
Maurice: entre rêves écologiques et ambitions mondiales • Notre île n’ attire pas que des touristes! Un cocktail tropical fait de soleil, d’ innovation durable, de startups audacieuses et d’ ambitions affirmées dessine peu à peu l’ avenir du pays. Car Maurice, c’ est plus que des plages de sable fin: le pays présente aussi une détermination à toute épreuve.
Two tiny young nations. Mauritius and Singapore. Former British colonies. Strategically located along key trade routes, sharing more than just their island status: multiculturalism, a history of economic reconstruction and serving up street food that’ s worth the flight ticket alone. Interestingly, by leveraging their geographic positions, both countries built their economies on tourism, finance and trade to attract global interest and yet have pursued distinct paths to economic growth. Singapore, the Lion City, has roared ahead as a global hub for business and innovation. As for Mauritius, our land of turquoise waters and lush landscapes is aiming to carve its own path, proving there’ s more to paradise than meets the eye.
