CCE - Allemagne

What CCE - Allemagne does

CCE - Allemagne (Comité Allemagne des Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur de la France) is the German committee of the French Foreign Trade Advisors network, comprising approximately 110 volunteer advisors appointed by the French Prime Minister for three-year mandates. The organization operates as a non-profit advisory body providing pro bono services across four statutory missions: (1) advising French public authorities on economic matters; (2) supporting French SMEs and mid-tier companies (ETIs) in their development projects in Germany; (3) promoting international training and the V.I.E (Volontaire International en Entreprise) program for young French professionals; and (4) advocating France's attractiveness to German and international investors. CCE Allemagne is organized into 6 regional sections covering all 16 German Bundesländer, with its headquarters co-located at the French Embassy in Berlin.

The organization has no commercial products or proprietary technology; its core "platform" is the human network of senior business leaders, executives, and independent professionals distributed across Germany. Its operating model is entirely volunteer-based (bénévole), with a small operational team of approximately 11 staff supporting the bureau leadership (President, Vice-President, Secretary General, Treasurer, Communications Lead). Activities are delivered through direct advisory matchmaking, mentoring, biennial events (Grand Prix VIE Germany), annual General Assemblies, and thematic colloquia (e.g., AI Colloquium 2024).

CCE Allemagne is embedded within the broader Team France Germany ecosystem alongside Business France, the French Embassy, the Service Économique Régional, the Franco-German Chamber of Commerce (AHK/CCI France Allemagne), five French Tech communities (Berlin, Munich, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg), CAFA-affiliated bilateral business clubs, and professional services partners (Forvis Mazars, Qivive, LPA Law, ALTIOS, Pramex). It generates no commercial revenue and operates on institutional support from the national CCE network and French governmental partners. The current President is Bénédicte de Peretti, elected in 2025 under the manifesto "For a strong Franco-German agenda within a strong Europe."
