Economic Development/Expansion Agencies
French economic development and/or expansion agencies focus on attracting investment to specific areas, often through foreign companies who open offices in France. If you are a representative of an American company that is considering establishing a presence in Rhône-Alpes, Auvergne, or Bourgogne, you may wish to contact the appropriate local or regional economic development/expansion agency. These agencies provide a wide variety of services for foreign companies – consult the relevant websites for details.
