THE PROVENCE-ALPS-RIVIERA REGIONAL COUNCIL

The Provence-Alps-Riviera Regional Council has chosen, among its aims and priorities, to harness economic growth to fuel employment. In application of this policy, it provides valuable support to the ADECI, backing our initiatives for the international development of regional corporations and our own policy of fostering trans-Mediterranean relations. Intercorporate industrial partnerships are one of the foundation stones of the French State / Region agreement concerning decentralized cooperation.

THE CDC

The Corporate Development Center (CDC) in Brussels provides support within the scope of the Cotonou Agreement linking ACP countries (Africa, Caribbean, Pacific) with the European Union. This financing is available to european and african corporations who contract industrial partnership agreements. Having signed a cooperation agreement with the CDC in 1989, the ADECI enjoys a privileged working relationship with this european organization.

LE PROGRAMME EUROPEEN INVEST IN MED

Le programme Invest in Med vise à développer durablement les relations d'affaires, les investissements et les partenariats d'entreprises entre les 2 rives de la Méditerranée. Financé aux trois-quarts par l'Union européenne sur la période 2008-2011, il est piloté par le consortium MedAlliance, qui réunit des agences de développement économique (ANIMA, leader du programme), des CCI (ASCAME, EUROCHAMBRES) et des fédérations d'entreprises (BUSINESSMED). Avec les membres de ces réseaux et leurs partenaires associés (ONUDI, GTZ, EPA Euroméditerranée, Banque Mondiale etc.), un millier d'acteurs économiques sont ainsi mobilisés au travers d'initiatives pilotes centrées sur des filières méditerranéennes d'avenir. Chaque année, une centaine d'opérations de terrain associent les 27 pays de l'Union européenne et leurs 9 partenaires du sud : Algérie, Autorité Palestinienne, Égypte, Israël, Jordanie, Liban, Maroc, Syrie et Tunisie.

THE 'ENTREPRISES & DEVELOPPEMENT' NETWORK (E&D)

The ADECI was one of the founder members of the inter-regional network 'Entreprises & Developpement' and now assumes the chairmanship of this network which includes some ten French regional organizations and handles the application of the national industrial journeyman program focused on the countries of North and Sub-Saharan Africa.

THE UNIDO (United Nations for Industrial Development Organization)

Since 1982, the ADECI has been regional correspondent for the UNIDO in France. This service has set up a welcome program in France for representatives of developing countries, whose role is to promote and accompany small-to-medium-sized French corporations seeking to undertake industrial projects with partners from their respective countries.
