The Monaco Economic Board (MEB) held its 55th members’ meeting on Tuesday evening at Jimmy’z Monte-Carlo, bringing together a record number of participants and highlighting the continued dynamism of the Principality’s business community despite global economic uncertainty…
Created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the MEB has grown steadily over the past 17 years, and this latest gathering underlined the strength of Monaco’s diversified economy and the importance placed on unity and collaboration among economic stakeholders.
The evening also served as the official launch of the MEB’s 2026 programme, with the first major event scheduled for the very next day: the Monaco Energy Storage Forum. Dedicated to renewable energy and storage solutions, the forum will welcome high-level Chinese representatives, reflecting China’s leading role in global energy storage technologies. The choice of Monaco as host is also linked to the presence of innovative local companies such as Aton Green Energy, which is active in this rapidly developing sector.
Two institutional presentations complemented the networking aspect of the evening, with representatives from the IMSEE and the Department of Economic Development outlining support mechanisms available to entrepreneurs. Particular emphasis was placed on the Monaco Innovation Fund, including feasibility grants of up to €50,000 designed to help early-stage projects cover research, prototyping and intellectual property costs.
Beyond the formal programme, the meeting offered a valuable opportunity for business leaders from across all sectors to connect, exchange ideas and strengthen partnerships, reinforcing the collaborative spirit that underpins Monaco’s economic model.
