Monaco rewards Excelior’s Deep Tech approach, while the recognition obtained in Barcelona consolidates its international dimension.
Monaco, the nerve centre of international innovation, hosted Excelior SA’s participation in the K2MATCH Monaco – Investor Lounge on 16 October, once again confirming the link between the Principality and the model of excellence developed by the Swiss company. The event, held at the Columbus Hotel in Monte-Carlo, brought together tech start-ups and scale-ups from Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, alongside institutional investors and private equity funds.
For Excelior, which is dedicated to the tokenisation of physical gold refined in Switzerland and stored in accordance with the strictest security standards, being present in Monte-Carlo is not only an international event, but also a return to a place that had already recognised its excellence, its solidity and its scalability. The interest aroused by the proprietary model – which integrates physical gold certified via blockchain and Deep Tech infrastructures – confirms the resonance of the project with a clientele in the Principality seeking asset tangibility, heritage protection, and total technological transparency.
How did Excelior achieve this result?
The path that led to consolidation in Monaco began with a clear premise: Excelior has established itself as a leading Swiss player in the secure and tokenised physical gold market segment, by offering a model capable of combining Swiss refining, blockchain technology and global market prospects.
From the success of the Soonicorn Mastermind to expansion with Metodo Unicorno
The 1st prize won in the “Soonicorn Mastermind” programme, which took place in Monte-Carlo in February 2025, was the first international recognition of Excelior’s vision. Following this result, the company was accepted to the Metodo Unicorno programme, one of the main European strategic paths dedicated to high-potential Deep Tech companies. Launched in June 2025, the programme supports Excelior in product design, technology development and global market orientation.
Today, thanks to its attendance at the Investor Deal Room organised by Metodo Unicorno on 22 November 2025 in Monte-Carlo, Excelior has consolidated its position among the most promising European Deep Tech start-ups. At the Investor Deal Room, Excelior was selected as one of the most innovative and promising entrepreneurial projects of the year. Excelior’s pitch wonfirst place, setting itself apart with its strategic clarity, the innovation of its model, its sustainability and its international scalability — recognition that confirms the solidity of the project and its positioning among the most promising realities of the European fintech and precious-metals tech panorama.
At this crucial stage, Stefania Spadafora, CIO of Excelior, already present at the 2025 international meetings, is a key figure in the company’s technology team. She has the delicate role of developing and consolidating proprietary innovation.
