Chambre de Commerce Franco-Libanaise

What Chambre de Commerce Franco-Libanaise does

Chambre de Commerce Franco-Libanaise (CCFL) is a bilateral chamber of commerce founded in 1950 and headquartered at 60 avenue Charles de Gaulle, Neuilly Sur Seine, in the Paris region of France. The organization operates as a non-profit membership-based association with 7 employees, dedicated to fostering business relationships between French and Lebanese companies. Its primary members are French businesses seeking to enter or expand in Lebanon, and Lebanese businesses seeking access to the French market, with horizontal segmentation across both geographies.

CCFL's offering is a suite of member services rather than a unified technology product. Core services include the Plateforme de support aux entreprises (PSEL) for member company support, an economic and legal information service for cross-border France/Lebanon matters, a business directory (Annuaire des entreprises), publications, employment/internship/training services, the 'Cuisine du cèdre' networking initiative, and the 'OSEZ-Le Liban' market-encouragement campaign. Distribution is delivered directly through the headquarters office and a website portal, supplemented by organized events and photo galleries. The technology stack is described as not applicable — the chamber functions as a business networking and trade facilitation body rather than a technology vendor.

The chamber's business model is built on recurring membership fees from French and Lebanese businesses, supplemented by event-driven engagement and partner referrals. GTM is community-led and event-driven, with new member acquisition flowing through the website portal, organized events, and a partner network that includes the Lebanese Embassy (France), IDAL, CCI Paris Île-de-France, the Fédération des Chambres de Commerce Françaises au Liban (CCI Fed), CCIA, ESA, AFPI, Jobs for Lebanon, and the Fonds de Dotation France-Liban (L3). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective members are directed to contact the chamber directly.
