CCI France Canada - Quebec

What CCI France Canada - Quebec does

CCI France Canada - Québec (CCIFCQ) is a bilateral chamber of commerce and industry, organized as a non-profit association (OBNL) under the CCI France International network conventions, headquartered at 925 Grande Allée Ouest in Québec City. The chamber's stated mission is to promote bilateral exchanges, investment, and commercial relations between France and Québec, serving two primary member segments: French entrepreneurs and executives already established in Québec who seek community and cultural connection, and Canadian/Québécois companies seeking to expand into European markets via France as an entry point. CCIFCQ is the Québec City chapter of the CCI française au Canada (CCIFC, founded in Montréal in 1886) and operates within the broader CCI France International network spanning 125 chambers across 98 countries and ~33,000 member companies.

The chamber's service portfolio centers on five core offerings: business networking across ~600 member companies, event organization (5@7/6@8 networking cocktails, pétanque tournaments, Beaujolais tastings, Bastille Day, Christmas markets, galette des rois assemblies, and topical conferences), market-entry support for both directions of the France-Québec corridor, a corporate-membership program with preferential pricing and CCIFI Connect access, and the CCIFI Connect mobile application providing directory and exclusive-benefit access across the international network. Technology infrastructure is described as standard digital tooling — a bilingual website (ccifcquebec.ca), an email newsletter, and the CCIFI Connect app — with no proprietary AI, data, or platform IP disclosed.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: recurring corporate membership dues and event sponsorships from corporate partners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The chamber is governed by a small bicultural team and a volunteer board of directors led by President Gautier Genevet. Growth is pursued primarily through community and event-driven motions, supported by formal reciprocal-membership partnerships with regional chambers (CCIGL, JCCQ, CCIQ) and institutional alliances with Business France, Québec International, Université Laval, and Collège Stanislas.
