His Serene Highness Prince Albert II travelled to Delphi, one of the most symbolic sites of ancient Greek civilisation, where he visited the archaeological complex and museum before taking part in the opening of the Delphi Economic Forum…
Set against a backdrop of millennia of history, the Forum has become a major platform for international dialogue, bringing together political leaders, economists and experts to address pressing global challenges, with a strong focus this year on maritime issues and the blue economy.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, HSH Prince Albert II highlighted the enduring role of the sea in shaping civilisations, noting how Greece transformed it into a space of exchange and progress. He stressed that the ocean remains central to global balance today, from climate regulation and biodiversity to food security and energy, while warning of increasing pressures on marine ecosystems, particularly in the Mediterranean.
The Sovereign underlined the importance of reconciling economic ambition with environmental responsibility, advocating for a sustainable blue economy driven by science, innovation and investment. He pointed to Monaco-led initiatives such as the MedFund, Ocean Innovators Platform and ReOcean Fund as practical examples of this approach.
On the sidelines of the Forum, the Prince held meetings with several international leaders, reinforcing Monaco’s role in global environmental and economic dialogue.
