Monaco, nestled on the French Riviera, is a tiny nation with a land area of 2.02 square kilometres and a population of approximately 36,000. It is the most densely populated sovereign state in the world, with its urbanised terrain presenting unique challenges for technology and telecommunications infrastructure. Monaco Telecom, the primary telecommunications provider, offers services ranging from fixed and mobile telephony to internet and TV, and in 2019, it became the first country to cover 100% of its territory with a 5G mobile network, thus reflecting a mature technology sector. Monaco's compact size also allows for unique infrastructure solutions, such as its pioneering efforts in smart city technologies, including intelligent street lighting and waste management systems. The nation is also committed to renewable energy, with initiatives such as solar roads and e-bikes, indicating a strong focus on sustainable development.
