During a ministerial trip to the Doubs, I had the pleasure, in my role as Interregional Delegate for the Centre-East (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne, Franche-Comté) for the OSCI – International Development Accelerators, to have a private lunch and exchange ideas with Mr. Olivier Becht, Minister Delegate in charge of Foreign Trade, Attractiveness, and French Nationals Abroad.
The OSCI federation is a key and complementary player within the Team France Export system, both in France and abroad, providing support through private service providers to help French companies in their commercial development, VIE hosting, as well as establishment and subsidiary management matters.
It was also a significant moment for me, having started my career as a VIE (formerly CSNE) in Dubai in 1996 and having lived abroad for more than 20 years in the Middle East.
Exporting is an excellent way to diversify one’s business, and expatriation allows France and its economy to shine thousands of kilometers away.
It’s a true pleasure and a real passion to put our expertise at the service of French companies and our economy.
