5 questions to Maurice Cohen, organizer of Monaco Business
In addition to a unique stand, the classic digital prize will be awarded to a Monegasque company.
More than 1,000 m² of exhibition space, around fifty exhibitors and a lively day of conferences await professionals on Wednesday October 6, 2021 at Monaco Business, a trade fair dedicated to companies in the Principality.
Before the event, Monaco Tribune spoke with Maurice Cohen, founder of Monaco Business, to find out more about his show.
1. How would you present the Monaco Business 2021?
This is the ninth edition of this show, we are entering a short decade and it is a good choice. Our concept is a B2B trade fair where people meet to do business. It is mainly reserved for Monegasque companies, many of which are currently in the digital field.
We have in particular the presence of Monaco Telecom, Monaco Digital, many other companies and a multitude of service providers. All animated by conferences on different themes during the day. Registration is free and the public can connect to the site to follow the conferences online.
The whole French Riviera can come and see
2. Is the event reserved only for Monegasque digital professionals?
The stands are reserved for Monegasque companies, but after all the Côte d’Azur can come and see. It is open to everyone, the only choice is that the companies that present their products are only Monegasque companies.
3. It’s a busy schedule for conferences, what can the audience expect?
It is especially very interesting, we normally have 1000 people who register for the conferences during the day. They are free, you just have to register on the website. We have important events such as the inauguration of the show by Stéphane Valeri, President of the National Council and the inaugural speech by Jean Castellini, Government Counselor-Minister of Finance and the Economy.
Another important event, we managed to come Pascal Lagarde, executive director of BPi France, for a conference entitled ” make successful transitions for an SME / VSE: internationalization, decarbonization and digitization? “
The goal is for entrepreneurs to meet, and for them to be as well informed as possible based on the conferences they have chosen.
There are a multitude of revolutionary products
4. What are the novelties of this year?
The important novelty is the presence of a Monaco Cloud stand. It is the first time that they are present, since the company was recently created. There are a multitude of revolutionary products, but you will have to come and see them on site!
Also, like every year, we close our event with the digital prize, which we award in partnership with the digital chamber and Frédéric Genta. It rewards a company having a concept or developing new things in the digital field. The price is reserved for companies in Monaco, but these can be passed on with external companies, of course. It just has to be worn by a Monegasque entrepreneur.
5. What are the highlights to look forward to, and above all, is there one not to be missed?
Impossible to answer you! All the lectures, in each of the areas, are interesting lectures, so I can’t say which one is absolutely must-see. It’s so varied that it allows business leaders to choose the interesting ones according to their personal needs.
