Speaking at the venue’s annual New Year reception, Director General Sylvie Biancheri highlighted the impact of the Mareterra extension, which added 6,000 square metres of exhibition space and helped drive turnover up 17% to €28 million in 2025.
Around 100 events were hosted over the year, with a clear shift towards fewer but much larger international gatherings.
Among the highlights were the summer exhibition Colours! Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidou, which attracted more than 76,000 visitors, and record attendance at major congresses such as AMWC.
With commercial targets for 2026 already exceeded, the coming year is shaping up to be equally strong, featuring high-profile events including the Michelin Guide ceremony, the arrival of La Vuelta in Monaco, the return of the Forbes Travel Guide Summit and a major summer exhibition, Monaco and the Automobile: From 1893 to the Present.
Cultural programming will also include concerts, theatre, ballet and international touring projects, reinforcing the Grimaldi Forum’s growing role on the global events stage.
