History of FACCMN

Contact Us

Minnesota is home to many well-known regional and international companies in key business sectors, among others, health & life sciences, agribusiness, water technology, advanced manufacturing, and financial services.
The mission of the French-American Chamber of Commerce (FACCMN) is to support strong economic relations between France and the United States, and to promote the development of our members and member companies in the Minnesota and Midwest regions.
We achieve our objectives by facilitating information sharing, networking and professional development. The FACCMN disseminates information by way of its diverse programs, seminars and professional networking events on pertinent business issues.
Working actively with our network of French-American professionals, and partnerships with the Euro-Chambers, Minnesota Trade Office, Greater MSP, and LifeScience Alley, the FACCMN offers French clients access to bilingual, bi-cultural experts in a variety of fields including law, finance & accounting, information technology, supply chain & logistics, sales & marketing, real estate, public relations, advertising, recruiting and more.
Lastly, the French-American Chamber of Commerce is directly involved in providing services to small and medium-sized French companies that wish to establish operations in the United States. The French-American Chamber of Commerce in Minnesota provides Trade Services in the form of exploratory missions, coaching and consulting.
Seminars, high-level speakers, networking opportunities, professional exchange and commercial services all contribute to the Chamber’s mission of supporting strong economic relations between France and the U.S., and aid in promoting the development of our member companies.
The Chamber is served by a dynamic Board of Directors, an active Young Professionals group, working committee members and volunteers, and our Executive Director Odile Hédoire-Young. I am proud of our accomplishments to date, and am honored to have been given the privilege of working with our team of FACCMN members, business leaders and partners.
