The Prince’s Government is expanding its policy of reusing technology from schools to include teachers’ tablets and computers. The initial policy gave a second life to digital technology used by middle and high school students across the Principality. About one-third of the refurbished technology will be donated to sports clubs for disabled athletes. The news was unveiled by the Prince’s Government on 8 July 2026.
The government’s second phase of the policy concerns more than 650 pieces of equipment, computers and tablets, some of which will be redistributed as part of an approach combining digital transition, inclusion, and environmentally responsibility.
Minister of State formalises the commitment
A joint commitment was formalised between the Monegasque State, represented by Christophe Mirmand, Minister of State, the social enterprise EVA which specialises in sustainable IT reuse and hardware refurbishment, and the Regional Olympic and Sports Committee (CROS) Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, which coordinates disabled sports clubs in the territory.
The new initiative will see 38% of the collected equipment donated to disabled sports clubs in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region.
“These organisations will be able to strengthen their organisational capacity, facilitate communication with members, and support the development of their activities through refurbished digital tools,” says a recent press release by the Prince’s Government.
Creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities
The refurbishment process will be carried out by EVA, an enterprise that professionally refurbishes discarded computer hardware. EVA gives equipment a second life, prevents electronic waste, and creates employment opportunities for individuals facing barriers in the labour market, particularly those with disabilities.
With this new operation, the Prince’s Government confirms its commitment to more responsible digital technology, while promoting digital inclusion and greater access to digital tools.
