CCI Grand Est is the regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry representing a network of territorial Chambers of Commerce and Industry across the Grand Est Region in France. Through its regional structure and local CCIs, the organisation supports thousands of businesses, entrepreneurs, industrial actors, farmers, cooperatives, social economy organisations, training providers and local authorities across both urban and rural territories.
The strength of CCI Grand Est lies in its ability to combine strategic regional coordination with strong local implementation capacities. Its network of territorial CCIs maintains daily contact with SMEs and local stakeholders, providing direct access to economic ecosystems and enabling large-scale mobilisation, engagement and replication of project activities across diverse territories.
CCI Grand Est supports businesses and territories in addressing major economic, environmental and societal challenges through innovation, entrepreneurship, digitalisation, decarbonisation, circular economy approaches, skills development and international cooperation. The organisation works closely with regional authorities, clusters, research centres, universities and civil society organisations to foster sustainable territorial development and strengthen regional resilience.
It regularly contributes to initiatives related to bioeconomy, circular economy, sustainable resource management, industrial symbiosis, green transition, vocational education and training, social innovation, entrepreneurship and rural development. CCI Grand Est can act as a bridge between research and practice by ensuring the involvement of businesses and territorial stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. Through its network of territorial CCIs, the organisation can support multi-actor approaches, facilitate living labs and pilot actions, recruit SMEs and local stakeholders, test innovative solutions in real-life environments, and contribute to the dissemination, exploitation and replication of project results. Its territorial presence allows projects to engage diverse regions facing different sustainability challenges and opportunities, generating evidence and solutions that can be replicated across Europe.
