Paris, on 9.11.06 : Global Bretagne conference.
Global Bretagne welcomes COFACE President.
After having received Christian Harbulot (from the Economic War School), Clara Gaymard (former AFII President) and Nicolas Hulot, Global Bretagne welcomed COFACE President, François David.
The COFACE (French Insurance Company For Foreign Trade) aims to facilitate exchanges between companies all over the world. It now protects 20-25% of French exports from financial risks related to trades and international investments.
It has organised a symposium every year for eleven years. These symposium gather the most acknowldged experts in bank, business and research from France and abroad to proceed to an analysis of country-risks.
This year, the experts will aim at highlighting the economic and political health of target countries for Brittany; i.e. the US, Japan and China, which are prioritised by the Region.
Germany, the UK, South Corea, Poland, Algeria, Mexico and Brasil are also currently targeted, because they could help our Breton companies to develop internationally.
This symposium is organised by Global Bretagne and Bretons of the World in co-operation with Former ESC Rennes Students and ANAJ-IHEDN. It is sponsored by the Amice-soquet Group and will take place at Paris Military School, from 18.45.
