The 19th edition of EVER Monaco, a prominent exhibition on sustainable mobility and renewable energy, returned to the Grimaldi Forum from Wednesday, November 13 to Thursday, November 14. Sponsored by the Prince Albert II Foundation and longtime supporters like SMEG, EVER Monaco continues to attract global innovators and partners, including the newly onboarded Segond Automotive Group. This year, the event coincided with the AVERE e-Mobility Conference, bringing together European leaders in clean mobility to discuss sustainable innovation.
EVER Monaco President Bernard Fautrier highlighted the importance of this year’s collaboration with AVERE, noting that Monaco’s long-standing environmental initiatives align closely with the goals of sustainable economic decarbonisation. Building on Monaco’s legacy of supporting green technology, the event featured a robust program of European-scale conferences focused on the future of mobility and renewable energy advancements.
Following three years at Monaco’s Espace Fontvieille, EVER Monaco returned to the Grimaldi Forum to better accommodate the expanded scope of the AVERE conference. With approximately 300 key figures from the renewable energy and sustainable mobility sectors expected, the forum hosted an expansive exhibition area showcasing today’s and tomorrow’s electric vehicles, while an outdoor “Ride and Drive” space offered test drives for attendees to experience cutting-edge electric and hybrid models firsthand.
EVER Monaco also welcomes a diverse lineup of energy innovators and sustainable technology firms. The event included a “Startup Village,” supported by Monaco’s Sustainable Development body MC2D, MonacoTech, and the Monaco Scientific Centre. The Village provided young companies working in sectors like sustainable mobility and green tech with affordable exhibition space, networking opportunities, and access to a pitch competition judged by Monaco institutions and event sponsors. The winner received prizes and support to further develop their innovative projects.
As a notable addition to the event, EVER Monaco will host the launch ceremony for the European Startup Prize for Mobility, founded by former European Parliament member Karima Delli in collaboration with BCG and Via ID. Now in its sixth year, this prize has grown into Europe’s largest ecosystem for mobility innovation, and the launch ceremony—under the patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II— took place on Wednesday, November 13 at 17:30, free and open to the public.
