Monaco will host its inaugural Energy Storage Forum on Friday 23rd January, marking the principality’s bid to establish itself as a strategic European hub for clean energy technology and grid innovation.
The invite-only event at One Monte-Carlo brings together government institutions, utilities, technology providers and investors for what organizers say will become an annual gathering focused on battery energy storage systems and grid flexibility.
It represents Monaco’s latest effort to carve out a niche in Europe’s energy transition, leveraging its international connectivity and regulatory environment to attract clean energy projects.
Ambitious positioning
The forum’s stated aim is direct: position Monaco as a base for European energy innovation and accelerate the deployment of advanced storage systems across the continent.
Running from 8:30am to 6pm, the programme will cover financial outlooks for grid stability, European battery storage distribution strategies, and digital platforms supporting energy infrastructure.
Confirmed speakers include representatives from Monaco’s institutions discussing the principality’s role as a European strategic hub, DEYE Chairman and AGE CEO addressing battery storage rollout plans, and various technology leaders.
The Blue Alliance Foundation, an international environmental organisation, serves as the official foundation partner.
Target participants
Organisers have identified specific audiences for the forum: utilities seeking grid flexibility solutions, companies looking to optimize energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions, industrial players supporting national grid stability, and organisations focused on energy resilience.
Topics will include how battery energy storage systems and digital platforms support grid stability, use cases for improving energy efficiency and return on investment, and how Monaco could function as a trusted European base for clean energy projects.
First of its kind
This marks Monaco’s first dedicated forum on energy storage technology, though the principality has hosted numerous events on broader environmental and ocean conservation topics.
The decision to focus specifically on energy storage and grid technology represents a narrower, more technical positioning than Monaco’s traditional environmental advocacy.
