The U. S. Department of Commerce International Trade Administration Europe

Team invite American exporters to join us for market briefings with our U.S.

Embassy colleagues across Europe. Each session will cover the current status of the market, key target sectors, new procedures or guidelines, developing trends. Speakers include American government officials and private sector entities.

As the world’s fifth largest economy, centrally located within the European Union, there is strong competition for market share in all French industrial and service sectors. American exporters to France generally face more competition from European companies than from Asian ones. Positioned at the heart of the world’s largest market, France offers a favorable economic environment to potential exporters. Join the U.S. Commercial Service and other experts to learn how to access this important market!
