The Principality of Monaco will promote its presence in Davos for the 55th World Economic Forum (WEF), at which attendance is expected to break records. On 23 January 2025, the Principality will host Monaco Day, dedicated to promoting its initiatives in innovation, sustainability and attractiveness at Monaco House.

The WEF is a pivotal annual event that convenes over 2,500 global economic and political leaders to address global challenges and identify innovative solutions. The theme for this year’s forum is “Collaboration in the Intelligent Age”.

Monaco House promotes the Principality as a region of opportunity to influential leaders at Davos

The Attractiveness Unit of the Prince’s Government and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation will organise Monaco House to highlight the presence at the forum of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II. Thanks to the participation of the Monaco Association for Financial Activities (AMAF), the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, the Monaco Economic Board, Monaco Private Label and attractiveness stakeholders, the entire ecosystem of Monaco’s attractiveness will be represented for the first time at Davos.

Monaco Day is a one-day programme that includes:

• speeches and panel discussions with entrepreneurs, investors and political leaders who share their expertise in artificial intelligence, the blue economy, investment and other subjects.
• strategic meetings that promote key encounters between WEF attendees and Monaco attractiveness representatives.

The event will be held in a special pavilion in the heart of Davos. This privileged platform between influential global figures and representatives of the Principality aims to:

• promote the unique model and advantages of the Principality
• build strategic partnerships
• promote the Principality on the international stage by highlighting its position as a European hub committed to a sustainable future.
