During his official visit to the 34th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) on September 25, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco received a €54,000 donation to support His Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, presented by Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show and Lord Stephen Carter, CEO of Informa Group. Joining them, Olivier Wenden, Vice-President and CEO of the Foundation, welcomed this gesture, which is renewed each year.
Since 2010, the Monaco Yacht Show has supported the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation 's initiatives, notably the “Ice Memory” project, which aims to study climate change and its effects by preserving ice cores from glaciers that are currently at risk of degradation or disappearance. The donation was officially presented aboard the catamaran Reduce (35.9m, 2024), built by Silver Yachts and winner of the Special Jury Award at the inaugural Monaco Yacht Show Blue Wake Awards , in recognition of its eco-friendly innovations. This visit followed a stop aboard the sailing yacht Maximus (59.29m, 2024), built by Vitters Shipyard and also nominated in the category. The donation marked the conclusion of the Sovereign’s tour of the show, during which he engaged with exhibitors in the Upper Deck Lounge .
