Monaco's 29th Concours de Création d'Entreprise Highlights Local Entrepreneurs

The 29th edition of the Concours de Création d’Entreprise (CCE), held on December 11, 2024, at the Auditorium Rainier III, underscored Monaco's commitment to nurturing entrepreneurial talent. Hosted by the Jeune Chambre Économique de Monaco (JCI Monaco) and featuring performances by Les Archets d’Ingres, the event showcased the vibrant and innovative spirit prevalent in the Principality. The ceremony, presided over by Charly Nestor, was attended by notable figures including Clément Maréchal, President of JCI Monaco, and Didier Guillaume, Minister of State, both of whom emphasized the importance of supporting young entrepreneurs as part of Monaco's broader economic strategy.

This year's CCE highlighted three outstanding projects that exemplify Monaco's entrepreneurial spirit. ExcelloCenter, founded by Romain Le Rouge and Alexis Lanari, won the Prix du Gouvernement Princier for its innovative educational programs tailored for primary and secondary students. The Prix de la Jeune Chambre Économique was awarded to Drones for Yachts, a venture by Pierre Deyris and Marta Migliorero, which provides drone delivery services to yacht owners and crews. Additionally, the Prix Coup de Cœur du Jury was secured by Sianatech, led by Yacine Bayar, for its advances in technical maintenance and performance enhancement solutions.

The CCE, with a prize pool of €61,000, continues to foster a network of new and seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders, aligning with Monaco's strategic vision for economic development. As the event concluded, it reaffirmed the Principality's role as a hub of innovation and entrepreneurial excellence, a vision strongly supported by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II.
