Monaco Ocean Protection Challenge 2023
Since 2018, MOPC has offered a platform for young entrepreneurs to showcase their sustainable business ideas and champion the protection of the oceans. Over 200 students have participated to date, vying to convince a jury that their business idea prioritizes the oceans’ wellbeing. Each entry requires a submitted business plan and a one-minute video presentation that explains the concept and its positive impact on the oceans.
Innovation and creativity are essential components of the competition. Past winners have introduced novel concepts, such as phone cases made from recycled ocean waste and luxury textiles manufactured from recycled plastics. Participants are not only required to demonstrate their commercial acumen, but also bring novel and refreshing ideas to the table, backed by a thorough business strategy and financial plan.
The 2023 edition is open to all university undergraduates, graduates, MBA students, and young entrepreneurs who are creating a company or have created one in or after 2021.
