Bois-Francs Exporters Club

The Club is a grouping of active exporters that use the club as an opportunity to meet and exchange about export markets and practices.

The main aims are the following:

To bring together companies which have common commercial export activities;
To break the isolation of exporters;
To give them the opportunity to exchange on their businesses ventures;
To support the cooperation between non-competitive exporters;
To draw up a calendar of activities with their assistance;
To organise meetings between organisations having common interests in a spirit of mutual aid and cooperation;
To organise discussion meetings on topics having a shared interest to the members.

BFEDC (LDC) organizes approximately four lunch-meetings per year including one period of exchanges on various sets of themes.
