History

The CCI France Russie is present in Moscow since 1997 as the “Club France” Association. This business network naturally evolved towards a Chamber of Commerce and Industry status by joining in 2006 the CCI France International group, which is the first private network of French companies in the world, present in 85 countries and gathering more than 32,000 companies.

Activity

Its work is focused on 3 key areas:

  • Building the business community: organization and staging of sectoral committees, business presentations and B2B meetings, cultural events, and regional delegations;
  • Lobbying: consultations and dialogues with French and Russian private and public policy makers;
  • Support for companies: support for Russian investment in France and for establishing foreign businesses in Russia, support to commercial development, business visa and work permit arrangement, outstaffing.

    • The Franco-Russian Chamber of Commerce has also created the Mediation Center and the Arbitration Court in order to settle disputes between natural or legal persons.
