JCI Monaco celebrates 30 years of entrepreneurship with four innovative winners

Radio Chantier’s AI-powered construction solution wins top prize

The Junior Chamber International Monaco (JCI) marked a milestone celebration, on December 4, 2025 evening, as the 30th edition of the Business Creation Competition took place at the Rainier III Auditorium. The anniversary event honored three decades of support for entrepreneurs in the Principality while showcasing a fresh wave of innovative business ventures.

Radio Chantier win the Prince’s Government €40,000 Prize

Radio Chantier emerged as the competition’s flagship winner, securing the prestigious Prince’s Government Prize worth €40,000. Founded by Cyril Cros and Alexandre Mattelon, the company has developed an artificial intelligence solution that bridges the gap between on-site construction decisions and overall project management.

The Prince’s Government Prize, worth €40,000, was awarded to Radio Chantier, founded by Cyril Cros and Alexandre Mattelon. The company supports construction projects using artificial intelligence, acting as an intermediary between decisions made on-site and the overall management of the project.

It shows not only that our idea is coherent and interesting, but also that all the work we put into preparing the application and ensuring the project’s viability has paid off. It’s a huge joy and a great release – before rolling up our sleeves for 2026, creating the company and launching the first projects.

Cros, who has been running MC BIM, a company specializing in new building technologies, since 2010, sees Radio Chantier as the natural evolution of nearly a decade of industry experience. His vision for 2026 is ambitious: to see the company’s name featured on major Monaco worksites including the CHPG and Bel-Air, with project managers relying on their technology daily.

Three additional winners recognized

The competition honored three other outstanding ventures across different prize categories:

DataGreen claimed the JCI Monaco Prize of €21,000 under the leadership of Julien Choukroun. The company addresses sustainability concerns by offering an innovative process to reuse energy emitted by data centres, a solution with significant environmental implications.

Meuble Monaco, represented by Isobel Ridley, took home the €10,000 Athos Partners Prize. The platform streamlines furniture management and resale for Monaco residents, bringing digital innovation to the secondhand furniture market.

ClickMeal won the Jury’s Favourite Prize, led by founders Alexia Montero and Guillaume Delachet. The company transforms workplace dining through connected fridges that deliver modern, locally-sourced catering solutions.

A milestone for Monaco’s entrepreneurial spirit

The 30th edition of the Business Creation Competition underscores Monaco’s continued commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship and supporting business creators. With €92,000 in total prize money distributed among the winners, the initiative demonstrates both the caliber of innovative thinking in the Principality and the support available to those ready to launch their ventures.

As these four companies prepare to bring their ideas to market in 2026, they join a legacy of successful enterprises that have emerged from three decades of JCI Monaco’s dedication to fostering economic growth and innovation in the Principality.
