FSACCI Strengthens International Connections Through Strategic Engagements in France
In June, the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI) strengthened its international network through a series of strategic engagements in France, represented by Chairperson Dr Yves Guenon and General Manager Erwanne Meilhoc.
Dr Yves Guenon attended the 7th Soirée des Trophées hosted by CCI France International, celebrating the achievements of French companies operating successfully around the world. The event brought together business leaders from across the global CCI France International network and highlighted the strength of French entrepreneurship on the international stage.
Erwanne Meilhoc participated in the 2026 CCI France International Directors' Seminar, where directors from chambers across the global network exchanged best practices, explored innovations in digital technologies and artificial intelligence, and discussed strategies to enhance organisational performance. She also attended the Rencontres CCI FI – Partenaires – Entreprises, connecting with more than 120 partner companies to strengthen relationships and identify new opportunities for collaboration.
As part of a learning expedition organised by One Provence, the General Manager joined representatives from fellow French Chambers of Commerce to visit leading organisations including ITER, the Port of Marseille Fos, Airbus Helicopters, CMA CGM's TANGRAM Centre and several innovation hubs. The programme showcased international best practices in sustainability, advanced manufacturing, logistics, aerospace and innovation.
These engagements reinforce FSACCI's commitment to creating value for its members by expanding international partnerships, strengthening connections across the CCI France International network and identifying opportunities that benefit French and South African businesses. The insights, relationships and knowledge gained will support the Chamber's ongoing mission to promote trade, investment and collaboration between the two countries.
