Israel-France Chamber of Commerce & Industry

What Israel-France Chamber of Commerce & Industry does

The Israel-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIIF), legally "Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie Israël - France," is a registered nonprofit chamber of commerce founded in 1957 in Tel Aviv by Emmanuel Racine. Its sole operating function is to serve as the official bilateral trade facilitation bridge between Israeli and French businesses, operating from one headquarters at 29 Hamered in Tel Aviv. CCIIF does not operate a technology platform; its core "product" is a tiered membership community, with corporate tiers (Patron, Gold, Silver, Bronze) and an IRON individual tier, delivering qualified professional networking, masterclasses, professional committees, trade shows, missions to France and Israel, and recurring event franchises such as Meet the Leader conferences, Transtech, Investor Forum, and Cyber Meetup.

CCIIF generates revenue across four streams: recurring membership fees, professional services compensation (consulting, tailored masterclasses), event sponsorship with Gold/Platinum members, and voluntary donations. Its distribution is hybrid: a self-serve trilingual website (cciif.org, English/French/Hebrew) for enrollment and a direct sales/field channel for enterprise onboarding at events such as VIVATECH, CCIIF Trophies, and General Assemblies. Visible enterprise-grade members include Alstom, EDF Renewables Israel, L'Oreal Israel, Club Med ISR, Carrefour Israel, i24NEWS, Decathlon Israel, and Hazera, spanning transportation, energy, retail, cosmetics, hospitality, media, sports retail, and agriculture/agtech.

Its value proposition is anchored in nearly 70 years of accumulated institutional relationships, official ties with French and Israeli diplomatic missions, Business France, Israel Export Institute, the Ministry of Economy of Israel, and the international CCI network in Paris. Tiered pricing exists but is largely private; the only disclosed figure is ₪800 (~$210) for the IRON individual membership. The organization is governed by Executive Chairman Julien Roitman (since 2026), with First Vice President Stephanie Benmoussa-Molkhou, Vice President Claude Nahon, Treasurer Ron Waldman, and a board combining former ambassadors, founders, and senior executives across retail, insurtech, adtech, and security. CCIIF targets large groups, SMEs, startups, financial institutions (banks, VCs, family offices, PE), professional service firms, and senior individuals, with no disclosed headcount or revenue figures.

Others

• Business France: French government agency supporting international development of the French economy (with a Tel Aviv office). Core strategic partner of CCIIF, providing some overlapping trade-facilitation and matchmaking services, but funded by the state rather than member dues.
• Israel Export Institute: Israeli government-affiliated trade promotion body and CCIIF core strategic partner. While not strictly a chamber, it provides overlapping bilateral and multilateral trade facilitation, export support, and partner matchmaking that competes for the same Israeli exporter wallet share.

Direct peers

• CCFI (France-Israel Chamber of Commerce): Paris-based sister chamber that operates the exact same bilateral Israel–France trade facilitation model from the French side. CCIIF and CCFI share institutional coordination and complementary teams (Israeli-ecosystem vs French-ecosystem expertise), making CCFI the most directly comparable peer.
• UK-Israel Business Council: Bilateral organization promoting UK–Israel trade, investment and partnerships through networking events, missions and policy advocacy — directly analogous to CCIIF's bilateral facilitation mandate in a different country pair.
• German-Israeli Chamber of Commerce (DIHK/GIC): Bilateral Israel–Germany chamber of industry and commerce that, like CCIIF, runs company memberships, networking events, trade missions and bilateral promotional activities — providing the same model in a parallel corridor (Israel–DACH).
• Israel-China Chamber of Commerce: Bilateral chamber providing networking, trade missions and corporate membership to Israeli and Chinese enterprises. Closely comparable in service catalog and member-base logic to CCIIF, applied to a different partner country.
• Israel-India Chamber of Commerce: Bilateral chamber focused on Israel–India trade facilitation, business networking and sector-specific events. Operates the same nonprofit, membership-driven, event-led model that CCIIF uses between Israel and France.
• AmCham Israel (Israel-America Chamber of Commerce and Industry): Bilateral Israel–US chamber of commerce providing identical membership tiers, networking events, conferences and trade facilitation services between Israeli and American enterprises. Closely aligned operating model in a different bilateral corridor.
