In November 2024, the Grimaldi Forum will once again transform into the beating heart of sustainable mobility and energy innovation as EVER Monaco marks its 19th edition. This two-day event, taking place on November 13th and 14th, promises to deliver a showcase of the latest advancements in clean energy and eco-friendly transportation, while fostering dynamic discussions about the future of our planet.
Founded in 2006, EVER Monaco has grown into a prominent platform for exhibitors and innovators in the fields of mobility and energy, with a commitment to highlighting solutions that protect the environment. This year, the event brings with it a packed agenda, merging exhibition, demonstration, and debate into one cohesive forum.
A Showcase of Innovation
At the heart of EVER Monaco is its exhibition, a hub where visitors can explore cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of transportation and energy. From electric vehicles and renewable energy systems to sustainable building practices, the exhibition caters to professionals and the general public alike. Attendees can engage directly with exhibitors, learn about new products and prototypes, and gain insight into the evolving landscape of clean mobility. This year’s lineup features industry giants such as Citroën, Mercedes, and Opel, alongside local players like SMEG and CAM, underscoring the event’s breadth and depth.
For those keen to experience the technology firsthand, the “Ride & Drive” zone offers a unique opportunity to test-drive a variety of electric vehicles, including cars, vans, and even electric bikes. This hands-on experience, set against the backdrop of Monaco’s scenic streets, is a standout feature of the event.
Fostering Startups and New Ideas
EVER Monaco is not just about established names; it also provides a fertile ground for new talents and startups. This year, the event will host the sixth edition of the European Startup Prize for Mobility. Created in collaboration with the European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism, this prestigious award aims to propel startups that are pushing the boundaries of clean mobility. The competition will kick off during EVER Monaco, offering emerging businesses a global platform to present their innovations and win support for expansion across Europe.
Expert Dialogue and Debate
Discussion and education are also key components of EVER Monaco. The event will once again host its popular round table sessions, focusing on crucial topics like electromobility and the energy transition. These sessions bring together thought leaders, policymakers, and industry experts, facilitating important conversations that shape the future of sustainable transport.
In parallel, the AVERE E-Mobility Conference (AEC) will take place. Organized by the European Electromobility Association, this conference is expected to draw 300 leading figures from across Europe. These experts will discuss the major challenges facing the industry, including the affordability of electric vehicles and the financing of the green transition. Together, EVER Monaco and AEC aim to create a comprehensive dialogue on the steps necessary for a sustainable future.
A Decade of Electric Challenges
An enduring highlight of the event is the Riviera Electric Challenge (REC), celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2024. This rally is not about speed but efficiency; participants strive to minimize energy consumption as they travel through Monaco, Italy, and France. This year’s rally will take participants from Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum to Cagnes-sur-Mer, with a pit stop in the Italian town of Dolceacqua. As a symbol of the energy-conscious ethos of EVER Monaco, the rally is a reminder that sustainable solutions are not just theoretical but actionable and rewarding.
Partners in Progress
EVER Monaco is supported by notable institutions, including the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, a leader in environmental protection, and SMEG, Monaco’s longstanding energy provider. These partnerships reflect the Principality’s broader commitment to sustainability, with EVER Monaco acting as a focal point for dialogue, innovation, and action.
As the world grapples with the challenge of transitioning to cleaner energy sources and greener modes of transportation, EVER Monaco continues to lead the conversation, offering a vision of what the future might look like—and the tools to make that future a reality. With its blend of exhibition, debate, and practical demonstrations, the 2024 edition promises to inspire, inform, and drive real progress.
