CCI Franco Dominicana

What CCI Franco Dominicana does

CCI Franco-Dominicana (CCIFD, legal name Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie Franco-Dominicaine) is a private non-profit bilateral chamber of commerce founded in 1987 and headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Its core function is to facilitate Franco-Dominican business relations across the full market-entry lifecycle, serving two primary customer segments: French-origin companies establishing or expanding in the Dominican Republic, and Dominican private-sector firms seeking French partners, distributors, or investment. The organization also engages a secondary segment of French Antilles (Guadeloupe, Martinique) companies pursuing cross-border trade with the DR.

CCIFD operates with a lean team of three permanent collaborators and a 19-member board elected every three years, and is a member of the CCI France International (CCIFI) global network of 119-125 French Chambers of Commerce across 94-98 countries. It offers six service categories: S'informer (market intelligence, diagnostics, studies, key contacts), Prospectar (product-market testing, prospection missions, trade shows, interpretation), S'implanter (business plans, subsidiary creation, HR recruitment, business center hosting, V.I.E packs), Se développer en Rep Dom (shared sales reps, back office, communication, events, Duo Mentoring), Le V.I.E (international volunteering for talent aged 18-28), and Se développer en France (VAT recovery, postal domiciliation, buyer search). It also distributes access to the LeBooster Business Centers network (1,570 workstations in 69 countries) and the CCIFI Connect mobile platform.

Revenue comes from a three-tier membership structure — Platinum (USD 5,000/year), Gold (USD 2,000/year), and Classic (USD 300/year) — supplemented by fees for professional services, market studies, prospection missions, and event organization. The organization holds formal representation agreements with Business France and BpiFrance, and reaches its market through an event-led GTM anchored on the annual Semaine de France business forum, supported by legal month forums, B2B matchmaking sessions, a bilingual website, email newsletters, and active social media on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The member base numbers approximately 171 companies, with Platinum-tier members including TotalEnergies, Carrefour, Thales, Pernod Ricard, Banco Popular Dominicano, Altice Dominicana, Aerodom (Vinci Airports), J. Fortuna Constructora, and Sofratesa.

Direct peers

• AMCHAM Dominican Republic: The American Chamber of Commerce in the Dominican Republic is the closest structural peer — a bilateral chamber of commerce operating in the same geography, serving multinational members with membership tiers, events, and business support services. Comparable in business model, member composition, and GTM motion.
• Cámara de Comercio y Producción de Santo Domingo: The local Santo Domingo chamber of commerce operates in the same city and offers a similar portfolio of business support, networking, and advocacy services to enterprises in the Dominican Republic. It is a direct peer in terms of business model and member base, though with a domestic rather than bilateral focus.
• CCI France Brésil: A sister bilateral French chamber in Brazil, operating under the same CCIFI umbrella with the same membership-tier model, service portfolio, and event-driven GTM. Highly comparable as a benchmark for scale, revenue mix, and operational structure.
• Cámara Oficial Española de Comercio de la República Dominicana: The official Spanish chamber of commerce in the Dominican Republic is a direct bilateral peer — membership-based organization serving Spanish companies and Dominican partners with networking events, business support, and trade promotion. Operates in the same city and addressable member universe.
• Cámara de Industria y Comercio Dominico-Alemana (AHK): The German bilateral chamber in the DR (AHK) mirrors CCIFD's structure, services, and GTM motion for German-Dominican commercial relations. A direct comparable for membership economics, event scale, and service portfolio.
• CCI France Mexique: Another sister CCIFI chamber, this one in Mexico, operating the same membership and business-support model for French companies in a large Latin American economy. Useful as a peer benchmark for member scale, event scale, and professional services revenue.
• British Chamber of Commerce Dominican Republic: A bilateral British chamber operating in the Dominican Republic with a similar member-company focus, networking events, and trade facilitation services. Direct comparable in market and operating model.

Broad incumbents

• ProDominicana: The Dominican Republic's official export and investment promotion agency, which CCIFD partners with on the Investment Guide. A broader incumbent that competes for some of the same market-entry and investment-attraction mandates CCIFD serves, but as a public-sector body rather than a membership organization.
• Business France: The French national agency for export promotion and international business development, which CCIFD is formally affiliated with. A broader incumbent whose services overlap with CCIFD's market-intelligence and prospection offerings, but operating at a national rather than bilateral level.

Others

• ASIEX (Asociación Dominicana de Empresas de Inversión Extranjera): The Dominican association of foreign investment enterprises, which CCIFD partners with on investment guides and member events. An ecosystem peer that addresses overlapping themes (foreign investment facilitation) but from a different organizational perspective.
