Moments from MESF 2026
Thank you to all our partners and speakers. We gathered the world's leading energy innovators to shape the future of grid stability and storage in the heart of Monaco.
The Monaco Energy Storage Forum is a high-level gathering dedicated to accelerating the deployment of advanced energy storage systems across Europe.
Hosted in the Principality of Monaco, the Forum brings together government institutions, utilities, industry leaders, investors and technology providers to explore the future of energy storage and grid flexibility.
The Forum is built on collaboration between institutions in Monaco, European partners and leading energy storage manufacturers.
A curated group of speakers represents the full value chain of energy storage.
The agenda combines institutional keynotes, technology deep dives and strategic roundtables.
