Our vision
Strategic partnerships for French territorial development
France is at a turning point. Being one of the top destinations in the world, and yet facing an impending budget crisis, new revenue models and partnerships must be considered. There is both an opportunity and a need for Economic Development Organizations and Destination Marketing Organizations to collaborate more closely. There must be consideration of new revenue models and destination promotion through new public-private partnerships in order to ease the weight on the public sector. We can help you build PPPs in the various domains of universities, cultural, and commercial sectors to help your community develop and thrive. France has the infrastructure already in place, it is simply a matter of unlocking its full potential. Whether you are in lle-de-France, Brittany, Bourgogne, Occitanie, or anywhere in between, if your community or organization has development goals and the status-quo has not been delivering the needed results, we are here to help you develop and share the community’s goals and unique cultural attributes.
