Extended Monaco Entreprises (EME) and Le Fonds Bleu are foundational pillars of Monaco’s digital transformation strategy, designed to modernize the public sector and support businesses.

These services ensured that entities had access to expert guidance for implementing and maintaining digital solutions.
