The 2022 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) will mark the unveiling of the Sustainability Hub, a new exhibition area that will welcome companies that specialise in technology aimed at reducing superyachts’ environmental footprint.
The Sustainability Hub is an incubator for companies that provide innovative or tried-and-true eco-friendly solutions. Budding start-ups working on sustainable alternatives that fit in seamlessly with the yachting world will also be present.
“The creation of the Sustainability Hub is a crucial achievement,” said Robert Van Tol, Executive Director of the Water Revolution Foundation.
“The Monaco Yacht Show has once again consolidated its leading position in the field, while highlighting the Water Revolution Foundation’s expertise in terms of sustainability.
“Thus, the show’s new exhibition area is designed to showcase forms of technology that will bring concrete improvements to the world of yachting.
“We are making every effort to find, verify, promote and reward sustainable solutions, whilst encouraging their use and bringing about much-needed change.”

The exhibition will be located on 200 square metres in Darse Sud, the tent dedicated to nautical equipment and technology.
The Monaco Yacht Show announces its collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation in order to select companies that are eligible for the Sustainability Hub.
The Sustainability Hub was created as part of the Monaco Yacht Show’s eco-friendly approach, which was initiated in 2005. The show thereby serves as a tool to raise awareness on environmental issues within the Monegasque and international yachting community.
“When MYS joined the Carbon Neutral program in 2005, we were already hell-bent on raising environmental awareness,” said Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the MYS.
“The MYS later joined the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation in 2010 to support their eco-friendly projects. May I remind you that the yachting industry had barely started taking on a green attitude at the time.
“Our pioneering approach to sustainability in organising the show, which began 18 years ago, now extends to a new dedicated exhibition at the MYS. The MYS constitutes one of the industry’s major voices; a share of social responsibility that we fully assume today.
“Therefore, the Sustainability Hub was an obvious and logical next step for the Monaco Yacht Show. This brand-new area dedicated to eco-friendly yachting alternatives is part of our sustainability program, which is set to be extended to the logistics and layout of the entire show, here in the port of Monaco.
“We intend to provide support to all those involved – exhibitors, service providers and visitors alike – while exploring concrete solutions to environmental problems.”
