About Us
Since the creation of the Monte-Carlo Woman of the Year Award by Cinzia Sgambati-Colman in 2012, we have been keen to celebrate and recognize the outstanding achievements of eminent women in a variety of sectors. For the past 8 years, the Award has been preceded by the Monaco Women Forum, to deepen these discoveries and create a truly collaborative discussion around important current topics.
Our commitment to female excellence is now reflected in a comprehensive event, combining individual recognition with meaningful dialogue to inspire and positively influence women's professional futures.
Over 11 years, we have welcomed exceptional participants and guests, including world leaders and influential personalities, reinforcing our reputation as a major platform for top-level exchanges.
The Monaco Women Forum is also an exceptional opportunity for young start-ups to meet experts from various sectors, fostering the exchange of ideas and knowledge. The Monegasque context offers an ideal environment opening valuable doors to growth and potential investors. Start-ups can also benefit from incomparable visibility by presenting their products/services to a targeted, high-quality audience of experts, investors and recognized professionals.
Mission
