For the 3rd edition, the CCI Gard once again hosted the Occitanie Export Tour, a morning dedicated to export on Friday November 29 in Nîmes in the premises of BIC Innov'up, the CCI Gard incubator. The objective of this event is to bring more and more companies into export.
During this morning, the participating companies attended a conference on HR solutions intended for international development. In the second part of the morning, the business leaders present could make individual meetings with experts to build their project (product regulations-certification, administrative techniques for foreign trade, financing, etc.).
“The French market only represents 4 to 5% of the world market” recalls Eric Giraudier, president of the CCI du Gard, “not going international means depriving yourself of a considerable potential market. It’s something that needs to be analyzed because it can be a tremendous lever for growth, but it needs to be done in a serious and reasoned manner.” warns the president of the CCI of Gard. “A study by CCI France shows that French products have a very good image and not just luxury and wine, including industrial products.” concluded Eric Giraudier.

Jonathan Perrier, general manager of the company A2i air innovation industry, has been exporting his products (air treatment cabinets specific to clean rooms) for 15 years with the help of the CCI of Gard in the Maghreb and is currently studying export opportunities to Malaysia and Indonesia “There are no particular difficulties in launching exports, you just need to have the desire to get started. The CCI supports us on the methodology and opens the doors to other players such as BPI France or Business France which allowed us to launch with a reasonable risk The gain for our company beyond a development of our turnover is that it allows us not to be in a monomarket and thus to smooth out. the risk.”
Around thirty business leaders were present at this export meeting of the CCI du Gard
