CMB Monaco x Grimaldi Forum, 19 years already...

This is a great achievement for the Grimaldi Forum Monaco and all its partners, first and foremost, of course, the Monegasque Government, but also CMB Monaco, which renewed its sponsorship agreement with the convention center for the 19th time on January 9th. This is a historic partnership between two entities that share the same values, and are innovating this year with a new joint project in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility, for the benefit of the Monaco Disease Power Association.

CSR, a priority

After obtaining its 6th ISO 14001 certification in 2023 and its very first ISO 20121 certification, the Grimaldi Forum is part of a framework of continuous improvement and is continuing its efforts on numerous environmental, societal and solidarity projects. Among its myriad actions, the implementation of a working day for each of its employees to the benefit of a collective action in the Principality, the eco-design of its exhibitions, the perpetuation of teleworking, or even the efforts against wasting food and insecurity.

2025, a big year for the Grimaldi Forum Monaco!

At the dawn of its 25 years in 2025, the Grimaldi Forum will receive its greatest birthday present, theextension of its building as part of the Mareterra project. More beautiful and functional than ever, it will have 50% more exhibition space, i.e. 6,000 m2 of additional indoor space, to which 2,000 m2 of outdoor space will be added, not to mention a complete repainting of its facades, a timely metamorphosis in a particularly competitive event sector that is hungry for novelty.
