More about FACCNE:

FACCNE is part of CCI France International, a global private network of 37,000 French and foreign companies in 92 countries.

Based in Boston, FACCNE supports New England-based and France-based companies, entrepreneurs, and individuals in growing their businesses through networking and learning opportunities, business services, and exposure within the Chamber and the broader community. Founded in 1985, FACCNE is one of the largest international chambers of commerce in New England, and also among the most active of the 18 chapters of the French-American Chamber of Commerce throughout the United States.

Some of our initiatives:

Each year, we organize many events, including networking coffees, fireside chats, and major sectorial conferences such as the Life Sciences Panorama, now recognized by the life science community as the annual catalyst for knowledge exchange and networking. With the current pandemic, we quickly shifted our services and offerings to virtual events and live chats.

The French American Business Awards is an annual competition open to any company doing business in both France and New England. It culminates in a pitch competition and an award ceremony.

5 Forums with more than 40 experts:
