This partnership will be based on events and contacts with our members to meet the needs of the Pavillon France. It will also rely on the use of the France International CCI network to attract local and international players in this exceptional space that will showcase the best of French know-how."

We benefit from an already very close relationship with the United Arab Emirates, developed at institutional, educational, cultural or economic level thanks to the French Business Council.
