Creating opportunities
The aim of the competition is to help entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 40 to start their business in Monaco. Showcasing their project creates synergies with investors, potential partners, business leaders and key figures in the Monegasque economy.
The CCE has already led to a number of business success stories. Past winners include Carlo App, Athos Partners and Papyrus.
