EVER Monaco 2026 Puts Sustainable Mobility, AI, and Startups in the Spotlight

EVER Monaco returns to One Monte Carlo on October 14 and 15 for its 21st edition, bringing together experts, businesses, institutions, and startups to explore sustainable mobility, renewable energy, and decarbonization. A startup competition will also award €20,000 in prize money.

"This event helps foster collective thinking on sustainable mobility and renewable energy," said Sébastien Lubert, president of Monaco Développement durable (MC2D), which organizes EVER Monaco.

He was presenting the outlines of the event’s 21st edition, to be held at One Monte Carlo on October 14 and 15.

Designed around the idea of "thinking, acting, and transforming," the exhibition will bring together institutions, experts, businesses, startups, and local stakeholders for practical, forward-looking discussions.

The aim is to identify realistic and effective solutions for building a more sustainable model.

The program combines conferences and debates with a startup pitch competition, spotlighting emerging technology companies that could help shape the future of sustainable mobility.

Four Conferences and €20,000 for Startups

The younger generation will open the discussions, with students from the Principality sharing their views on what commitment to the planet means in the face of environmental and societal challenges.

Another conference will examine the new rules shaping mobility.

Participants will include representatives from the Escota network, Vinci Autoroutes, SMEG, the government’s Deputy Director of the Department of Forward Studies, Urban Planning and Mobility, and the president of the Monaco Hydrogen Alliance.

Artificial intelligence will also be on the agenda, with a debate exploring its growing role across the energy sector.

Speakers will include representatives from SMEG, SBM Offshore, RTE, and the chairman of the management board of Nice Côte d’Azur Airports.

A further conference will focus on one of the key issues facing local and regional stakeholders: decarbonization.

It will bring together the founder of the Rallye des Gazelles, SBM, SNCF, Itec Group, Green One, and law firm Jeantet.

Shaping a More Sustainable Future

The program is designed to encourage discussion around these major challenges, with the broader goal of helping shape a more sustainable future.

Lubert also sees innovation as a key driver of the transition toward what he describes as "a more responsible, more resilient, and more efficient economy."

That ambition is reflected in the event’s startup pitch competition, which will see around 20 companies compete for a total prize fund of €20,000.
