Monaco startup ETYC transforms yacht industry with environmental management platform
Former yacht stewardess Claire Ferandier-Sicard's digital platform helps luxury vessels reduce their carbon footprint from within the industry.
A Monaco-based technology company is making waves in the luxury yachting world by tackling environmental concerns from the inside out. ETYC, founded in 2019 by former chief stewardess turned entrepreneur Claire Ferandier-Sicard, has developed a comprehensive digital platform designed to help yacht operators manage and reduce their environmental impact.
The startup, which has been nurtured through Monaco's MonacoTech incubator programme, brings unique industry insight to the challenge of decarbonising one of Monaco's most visible luxury sectors. Ferandier-Sicard's background in yacht operations provides ETYC with authentic understanding of the practical challenges facing vessel managers who want to implement greener practices.
After seven years of development and refinement, the platform is gaining traction within the yachting community. The company's approach focuses on providing yacht crews and operators with practical tools to monitor, measure and reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining the high service standards expected in the luxury market.
ETYC's growing success reflects Monaco's broader commitment to sustainable innovation in traditional industries, demonstrating how technology can drive environmental progress in sectors where change has historically been slow to take hold.
