Monaco, an ancient principality steeped in a rich and colorful history, is considered by many to be Europe's most fascinating country. Though the Principality covers but one square mile, it stands as a proud monarchy with the newly crowned Serene Highness Prince Albert II as its head of state.
Today people visit Monaco and its glittering district Monte Carlo not simply to vacation, not just to test their standing with lady luck, nor merely to see and be seen, but to revel in the memorable experience of the Principality. From movie stars, to heads of state, to kings and queens, Monte Carlo never tires of playing host to important people.
Monaco is about the world's best. That's why we are returning for our seventh year to honor the best entrepreneurs in the world. Like Monaco, entrepreneurs are dynamic. Like Monaco, what you have achieved is legendary. Monaco is a natural setting for the world's best entrepreneurs to meet, share ideas, and forge networking ties around the world.
