International development

The internationalization is a crucial issue for the entire French economy. It is often a guarantee of successful development of a company. Furthermore, it helps promoting the “made in France”. However, it is difficult for some structures to consider exporting in the early stages due to a lack of resources, information and time.

In some cases, the cluster can be a strategic tool to enter the international market.

What interest for my structure?

Time saving

Internationalization through a cluster can reduce the time needed to establish contacts or working relationships with international partners.
