Monaco Business will return to the Sea Club at Le Méridien Beach Plaza on Friday 18th September, bringing together entrepreneurs, executives and public institutions for the Principality’s largest annual B2B event.
Now in its 14th year, the salon is expected to attract around 1,000 visitors and more than 50 exhibitors across 1,000 square metres of exhibition space. The programme combines business meetings and networking with six conferences examining the issues shaping Monaco’s economy.
Minister of State Christophe Mirmand is expected to open the event, which is being held under the High Patronage of Prince Albert II.
AI and technological sovereignty on the agenda
Artificial intelligence will feature prominently in this year’s programme, with entrepreneur and digital specialist Gilles Babinet due to address the relationship between AI, European competitiveness and technological sovereignty.
Other discussions will examine security as a foundation of Monaco’s prosperity, cybersecurity and the implications of the EU’s NIS2 framework, environmental policy and sustainable development, and the ability of Monaco-based companies to expand into international markets.
The final conference will consider how businesses can maintain purpose and performance in a rapidly changing economic environment.
Announced participants include Grimaldi Forum Monaco General Director Sylvie Biancheri, Monaco Telecom CEO Martin Peronnet, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer Deputy Chairman Stéphane Valeri and Laboratoire Therascience President Jean-Pierre Agarra.
A dedicated networking lounge will allow participants to arrange meetings throughout the day, while workshops and coaching sessions will offer practical support to entrepreneurs and companies considering establishing a presence in the Principality.
The event will conclude at 6pm with the presentation of the Monaco Business Award, which recognises a company or entrepreneur contributing to Monaco’s economic development. The 2025 award went to Oléna Sullivan-Prykhodko, founder and director of The British School of Monaco.
Monaco Business takes place on Friday 18th September at the Sea Club, Le Méridien Beach Plaza. Admission is free, with advance registration available through the official Monaco Business website.
