From cybersecurity and banking to health and wellness, shopping and everything in between, the recent edition of Monaco Business, held at Le Méridien Beach Plaza’s Sea Club, sought to shine a light on the innovations and innovative ideas being nurtured in the Principality.
Monaco Life attended the event on 19th September to meet with a range of entrepreneurs and spokespeople from the engaging businesses that took part in the 12th edition of Monaco Business.
Among them was the well-known app Carlo, a payment app designed to enhance shopping experiences in Monaco. It is now in its fifth year of operations and was present for the third consecutive year at the event.
Camillo Rubesa, who is part of Carlo’s Customer Success team, shared, “We decided to exhibit again because we are working a lot with other businesses and want to bring on a few new ones. Monaco Business is a great opportunity to meet these other enterprises and establish B2B partnerships.”
Monaco Wellness System, represented by Laurent Devivi, was another returning exhibitor. The company uses innovative tools and methods to provide tailored health and well-being support to both individuals and companies.
The company has recently released a new massage chair, which debuted at the exhibition and caught the eye of a number of visitors.
“We are pleased so far with the exposition results, as quite a few individuals and businesses have approached us regarding the new massage chair,” said a representative from Monaco Wellness System.
Financial services were well represented at Monaco Business, notably by Crédit Agricole Monaco, a partner of the show. A longstanding player in Monaco’s business landscape, the private bank branch has been operating since 1990 as a specialist in wealth management. Since October 2015, it has provided corporate banking services to support businesses through their developmental stages.
“We are involved in local events like Monaco Business with the goal of discovering new companies and innovations entering the Monaco market, as well as connecting with potential clients who may need our advice,” said Lucas Allegre, Client Advisor for Entrepreneurs at Crédit Agricole Monaco.
Echoing his sentiments, Paul Brossard from the sales team at ITSB, an important player in Monaco’s information systems consulting sector for over a decade, remarked, “Events like Monaco Business are key for us to showcase our expertise and connect with potential clients.”
From the well-established to the newcomers in the Monegasque landscape, cybersecurity firm Cyber Panther was launched in Monaco just two months ago. The company was represented at Monaco Business by CEO Gia Fisher, a cybersecurity specialist from the United States who has worked with some of the country’s largest intelligence agencies. Fisher was invited to establish Cyber Panther in the Principality to address the growing need for cybersecurity solutions.
She explained, “In Monaco, there was a clear need for my services, which is probably why I was approved so quickly. While the Principality has many companies eager to assist with data protection, there isn’t a firm that offers what I do in the same way. My goal over the next few years is to strengthen local businesses by ensuring they are secure in their data protection, providing peace of mind for their clients. I’m here to showcase what Cyber Panther offers and to put us on Monaco’s map.”
