Relying on a network of 300+ business experts in France, we consistently monitor markets to find the most promising French companies and help them navigate their way to international development. In sub-Saharan Africa, our mission is to help local companies find the best French suppliers or technology partners for their development.
Our Services
Sourcing
Business France offers turnkey B-to-B solutions designed for local businesses in search of new suppliers and partners. Our local advisors first evaluate a company’s specific needs then our network in France targets export-oriented prospects matching these needs. Once the company chooses which suppliers from a given selection meets these, we organize a day of individual meetings, in Paris or at the client’s headquarters.
Showcasing French Expertise
Business France organizes annually over 50 events introducing relevant French companies to potential African partners. We bring forth France’s entrepreneurial elite at events such as trade shows and independently organized product showcases and tastings, coaching them to ensure their strategy is adapted and inclusive of local consumer customs and behaviors. Each of these instances constitute an opportunity for local businesses to identify future suppliers, clients, and partners.
Technological & Scientific Matchmaking
Ensuring R&D is at the forefront, we initiate meetings between major national and local players and smaller companies and startups from France having developed niche research and technology. By doing so, we enable them to determine possible synergies to further develop innovative products through scientific collaboration or funding.
Supporting Innovation
Our team works tirelessly on creating new formats in sectors where French expertise is in high demand, providing investment opportunities in critical technologies, in fields as diverse as deep tech, agriculture, beauty, manufacturing and healthcare.
