• Île-de-France RegioncoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2024The ETI Act is a joint roadmap signed between the Club ETI and the Île-de-France Region, first established in 2021 and renewed for 2024-2027. It is the first such cooperation in France. The ETI Act 2024-2027 outlines 4 strategic objectives and 14 concrete actions aimed at making Île-de-France a fertile ground for ETI emergence and development. The objectives cover: (1) promoting the Club ETI as an engine of the regional economy, (2) supporting innovation and technological challenges, (3) enhancing ETI competitiveness through ecological and social transition, and (4) making recruitment and inclusion a shared priority.
• HEC ParisflagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerClub ETI partners with HEC Paris to provide two certifiable executive training programs specifically designed for ETI leaders: a Dirigeants (CEO) program and a CODIR (executive committee) program. These programs offer tailored, high-level management education for mid-sized enterprise leaders.

Broad incumbents

• CPME: Confédération des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises, a national federation focused on SMEs and mid-sized companies. Comparable mission of representing mid-market employers to policymakers, though its core constituency is SMEs rather than ETIs specifically.
• BDI (Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie): Germany's main industry federation, the international counterpart in the model Club ETI cites as inspiration for a 'French Mittelstand.' Comparable as the apex industrial-association platform advocating for mid-sized and large enterprises with government access, though at national German scope.
• CCI Paris Île-de-France: Regional chamber of commerce covering the same Île-de-France territory. Comparable as a business-membership organization supporting companies (including ETIs) in the same region with policy dialogue and services, but addresses all company sizes rather than the ETI niche.
• MEDEF: France's largest employers' federation, representing companies of all sizes including ETIs. Comparable as a national business-association platform with government access and thematic working groups, but operates at much broader scope than the ETI-specific focus of Club ETI.
• CCI France: National network of Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Comparable as the umbrella business-association infrastructure in France, providing member services, policy advocacy, and training—though at national scope and across all company sizes.
• AFEP: Association Française des Entreprises Privées, representing France's largest companies. Comparable as a C-suite business association with privileged government access, but its members are well above the ETI size band.

Others

• Institut de l'Entreprise: French business-policy think tank producing research and convening executives on economic issues. Comparable in producing policy research and convening business leaders, though structured as a think tank rather than a membership-driven association.
• Paris Europlace: Paris-based financial-market promotion organization. Comparable as a Paris-headquartered economic-promotion association engaging large corporate members and policymakers, but focused specifically on capital-markets promotion rather than mid-sized enterprise federation.
