The Monaco Ocean Protection Challenge 2025 is calling on students, fresh graduates, and early-stage startups to submit groundbreaking solutions for ocean conservation.

This unique initiative, organised by the International University of Monaco, Institut Océanographique de Monaco, Monaco Impact, and the Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco, aims to inspire innovation and protect our oceans for future generations.

The challenge is open to students with entrepreneurial aspirations and graduates from all disciplines, as well as startups with less than three years of experience. Candidates must present innovative projects that focus on ocean conservation and sustainability.

Participants will compete for cash prizes to fund their projects, gain global exposure, and showcase their solutions to leading industry experts. Winners will also receive mentorship and resources to help bring their ideas to life or scale their existing businesses.

The challenge offers a unique platform to make a real impact on ocean protection, secure funding, and connect with a global network of like-minded individuals and organizations.
