What is the Monte-Carlo Woman of the Year Award?
The Monte-Carlo Woman of the Year Award is a unique international distinction designed to spotlight the stories, achievements, and impact of visionary women.

This prestigious Monaco women's award goes beyond recognition: it serves as a global platform to amplify women's voices and strengthen their visibility among decision-makers, innovators, and thought leaders worldwide.
