We bring together all our expertise to support your business’ development and to ensure the success of your projects by offering a pragmatic, customized approach in line with your budget and ambitions.

We are a key player in fostering competitiveness, growth, and employment in France, offering clear and efficient access to all corporate development stakeholders and services for all businesses, irrespective of their size, sector, and projects, from exports to investments through to multinational partnerships.

We also run the V.I.E International Graduate Program which enables businesses located in France to give candidates a temporary assignment in a foreign country. The scheme is open to candidates of all qualification levels not only from France but also from any other country in the European Economic Area. There are more than 200 V.I.Es spread out in the Nordics and their number is increasing.

In total, we are 36 people working in the Nordic countries, spread across our offices and those of the French-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce, each of them being organized by areas of expertise and following a similar layout.
