THE FUTURE IS UNDERWAY!
An emblematic player in the event world, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco will benefit from the ambitious urban development underway by the Monegasque State - a 6-hectare extension of the Principality's territory, beginning in 2025! With the creation of Mareterra, Monaco's new eco-district, the Grimaldi Forum is being reinvented in a new environment.The project includes mainly offer housing (60,000 m²), infrastructure and public parking, a buzzing port with pedestrian platforms, a landscaped park, a shady coastal promenade along the Japanese Garden, as well as an extension of the Grimaldi Forum!
As a result, the Monaco Government Congress and Culture Centre will be able to increase its exhibition capacity by 50% with an additional 6,000 m². This new space will make it possible to host larger events, have more events going on simultaneously, and make the Grimaldi Forum more flexible for increasingly original event formats. This unique opportunity will be a true asset to support the attractiveness of the destination on an international scale.

AN ECO-DESIGNED AND ECO-MANAGED EXTENSION
The extension to the Grimaldi Forum Monaco is part of an exemplary approach to sustainable development, complying with the standards of the BREEAM organisation, which assesses the environmental performance of buildings, and certified HQE Aménagement Durable. Like the original building, it benefits from natural, high-performance thermal insulation using cellular glass, a recyclable material that meets High Environmental Quality criteria. The extension's centralised technical management system (GTC), with 3,600 control points, optimises the programming of air conditioning and lighting, as well as water monitoring and overflow management. The extension also uses seawater as a renewable energy source and has a waste sorting centre, reinforcing its commitment to the environment.
