Over the next few months, the Jeune Chambre Économique de Monaco will be hosting two business-minded events to help young people in the Principality with innovative ideas and an entrepreneurial spirit succeed and thrive.
The JCI Monaco, or the Jeune Chambre Économique de Monaco, is a group of young business leaders dedicated to enhancing Monaco’s economic appeal while supporting and inspiring fellow entrepreneurs to transform their concepts into reality. The JCI Monaco also plays an active role in its business community, and holds positions on the Monaco Economic Board (MEB), the Economic, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) and the Strategic Council for Attractiveness (CSA).
Concours de Création d’Entreprise
The first upcoming event is the Concours de Création d’Entreprise (CCE), an annual competition that is now in its 29th year. The prize for the most promising new Monaco-based business is a €40,000 grant, the Prix du Gouvernement Princier, with a number of other runner-up prizes also up for grabs.
Candidates must be between 18 and 40, own at least a third of the company and meet legal criteria to operate in Monaco. Previous winners include SOCA, HY-Plug, EatIn and the Carlo app.
Applications are open until 30th September and must include a detailed business plan. More information can be found here.
Monaco Inspire
On 30th November, the JCI Monaco will host the first edition of Monaco Inspire at the Méridien Beach Plaza. This event is designed to help young entrepreneurs transition from concept to execution, with a strong focus on marketing and positioning.
The day will feature talks, interactive workshops, networking opportunities and pitch sessions with established business owners and investors. For details or registration information, click here.
