Monaco House: The Principality’s official platform hub for global discussions and strategic innovation and economic development at Davos
Summary
The Monaco House Davos hosted its inaugural debut at the World Economic Forum (WEF), January 23, 2025, offering a space for deeper, more open dialogue on global challenges. Hosted by the Government of the Principality of Monaco, the initiative reflects Monaco’s long-standing commitment to neutrality, cooperation, and sustainable development.
A dedicated space alongside Davos
Monaco House serves as the official platform for the Principality during the World Economic Forum, bridging the gap between high-level diplomacy and strategic economic development.
Launched to showcase Monaco’s unique model of sustainable innovation, the house acts as a hub for leaders to forge partnerships outside the traditional institutional formats.
It is designed as a place for meaningful exchange, where public leaders, business executives, innovators, and cultural figures can engage in longer, more reflective conversations.
When it started and why it matters
The inaugural edition of Monaco Day, on January 23, 2025, in Davos was a remarkable day of dialogue and collaboration, marking Monaco’s unique presence at the global stage of the World Economic Forum.
The 2025 gathering positioned Monaco as a convener of cross-sector dialogue around sustainability, innovation, finance, and ocean protection. The discussions centered on the transformative power of collective action and innovative ideas.
Leadership behind the initiative
The Monaco House initiative was inaugurated on January 23, 2025, during the 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). It is led by the Attractiveness Unit of the Prince’s Government in collaboration with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (FPA2).
The effort is supported by close collaboration with Monaco-based institutions, international partners, and private-sector leaders aligned with the Principality’s values.
Frédéric Genta, Secretary of Attractiveness, Development, and Digital Transformation, described the day as a pivotal moment, bringing together leaders in innovation, sustainability, and the Monegasque economy, including key entities like the SBM and AMAF.
The 2025 Premiere: Sponsors and Monaco attendees
In its debut year, the event was supported by a collective of the Principality’s most influential entities, representing the “entire ecosystem of Monaco’s attractiveness”:
- Monaco Association for Financial Activities (AMAF)
- Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer (SBM)
- Monaco Economic Board (MEB)

Guests who attended in 2025
The 2025 event drew over 400 participants from 50 countries, including high-profile speakers such as Larry Summers (former US Treasury Secretary), David Rubenstein (Carlyle Group), and Bertrand Piccard (Solar Impulse Foundation).
The 2025 edition welcomed senior figures from global finance, technology, sustainability, and industry, including leaders from banking, AI, maritime innovation, and environmental research. The event established Monaco House as a trusted space for cross-disciplinary exchange.
Prince Albert II and the 2025 moment
The event highlighted Monaco’s unwavering commitment to global progress. A defining moment of the 2025 Monaco House was the participation of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, whose address reinforced Monaco’s commitment to sustainability, science-based policy, and international cooperation.
The Sovereign’s presence underscored two decades of leadership through the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, which has supported more than 120 environmental and ocean-focused projects worldwide.
Our mission is clear: to contribute to initiatives that benefit both the planet and its people. Monaco’s presence in Davos reflects our conviction that dialogue, neutrality, and long-term responsibility are essential to addressing global challenges. — H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco
