“Constructive Neutrality – The Power of Constructive Neutrality,” Monaco Day showcases Monaco’s role as a dynamic hub for dialogue across geopolitics, finance, technology and sustainability.
Summary
At a time when global conversations are often defined by division and uncertainty, Monaco Day in Davos offers something refreshingly different: a space built for connection, clarity and forward thinking. Taking place alongside the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, the invitation-only gathering brings together world leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and innovators at the Monaco House for a full day of strategic dialogue.
Monaco House Day
Monaco Day in Davos is a high-level, invitation-only forum taking place on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at Monaco House, Davos Platz, alongside the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum.
Under the theme “Constructive Neutrality – The Power of Constructive Neutrality,” Monaco Day highlights how trusted, neutral platforms can unlock cooperation, inspire responsible innovation and create long-term value in a rapidly changing world.
Organised by Monaco’s Strategic Development / Cellule Attractivité, under the auspices of the Government of the Principality of Monaco, Monaco Day offers a deliberately focused setting for decision-makers to exchange views beyond formal WEF formats. This exclusive event will serve as a premier platform for high-level dialogue, strategic partnerships and fruitful exchanges between influential leaders, policy makers and industry pioneers.
Sessions will feature inspiring and strategic fire-side chats with global leaders, and extensive networking opportunities, structured around three core pillars:
- Prosperity within planetary boundaries: regenerative economies, impact-driven technology, and responsible innovation
- Cooperation in an increasingly interconnected and challenging world: rebuilding relationships, strengthening trust, and fostering mediation
- Unlocking Growth by advancing transition-focused economic models, strategic alliances, and human capital
“Monaco Day is designed to take the time to listen, reflect, and connect.” — Government of Monaco, Attractiveness Unit
