What is the genesis of Hauts-de-France International?

The Hauts-de-France International collective was born from the need to bring together international stakeholders under a unique banner. This strategic union is meant to catalyze synergies for the benefit of companies and territories. This is the stepping-stone of a significant evolution for how export, investment, diplomacy and international cooperation communicate together. Previously working separately, these spheres of influence now converge within a dynamic that coordinates the work of regional international authorities and adopts, for priority geographical areas, a global approach with coherent, combined annual action plans that create opportunities for companies. This common banner makes the Hauts de France region more visible on the international stage.

Who are the major stakeholders of Hauts-de-France International?

The organisation is meant to be simple and revolves around its major stakeholders: the Hauts-de-France Region, the Hauts-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as their authorities – Nord France Invest to help foreign companies set-up on our territory and CCI International to help regional companies export.

It is also meant to create a broader community of partners operating internationally:

  • Members of the Team France Export,
  • Members of the Team France Invest,
  • Ports,

  • Hauts-de-France Innovation Développement,
  • Hauts-de-France Tourism,
