On December 8th and 9th of 2008, the FACCSF, PRIME, System@tic and CCI Essonne organized a trade mission for 6 French innovative hi-tech companies. With a strong presence in France, these companies have decided to explore the US market - to discover its opportunities and its likeminded focus on innovation and service. The strong company lineup featured: Genostar, INL, Qualigram, Sparkom, Spring Technologies, and Wallix.

“I was very satisfied with the organization and caliber of contacts that [the Chamber] had developed for me. In such a short span of time, I was able to benefit from a program that was both efficient and an extremely rich learning experience. For medium/small sized businesses, this element is critical …Your warm welcome and enthusiasm truly elevated the trade mission.”
– Gilles Battier, CEO, Spring Technologies

During the San Francisco leg of the trip, the companies each underwent an intensive two day program, including a conference on Open Source business models and meetings with experts - lawyers, accountants, IT specialists and CEOs, project managers, public relations coordinators, bankers, IP experts, and more - all tailored to each companies needs.

We would like to extend our deepest word of thanks to the companies, our participating experts, and partners for this incredibly productive and successful program.
