Sanlorenzo, world leader in yacht manufacturing, took part in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge 2024, held at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the first week of July 2024. This prestigious international event brings together the greatest talents in the nautical sector - 50 teams, 40 international universities, 25 nations - to develop boats powered by renewable energy sources, promoting sustainable solutions for the future of yachting through alternative propulsion systems and hull designs.

Sanlorenzo's participation in the competition reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, fundamental elements of the Sanlorenzo philosophy.

Sanlorenzo is particularly proud to highlight its support for research and development, as well as its collaborations with several prestigious universities. During the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, our R&D team worked closely with university research groups, sharing knowledge and resources to promote innovation in the nautical sector.

"We are confident that by supporting younger generations, we will be able to address the challenges towards sustainability", comments Massimo Perotti, Chairman and CEO of Sanlorenzo, who is mentoring Elettra UniGe (Genoa) and UNIBOAT (Bologna), two Italian teams participating this year.

A key aspect of our participation is meeting deserving students from different universities. These young talents had the opportunity to present their projects, receive feedback from our experts, and explore potential career opportunities at Sanlorenzo. We firmly believe that investing in young talent is essential to ensure a sustainable and innovative future for the nautical sector.
