Information updated on 20/01/23

CCI Immersion is a program for innovative companies active in at least one branch of the Cultural and Creative Industries sector, with high international potential and a desire to expand internationally.

Four countries with strong potential market opportunities for the French Cultural and Creative Industries have been selected to serve as pilots for launching this program in 2023: Canada, South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom.
 
Developed and funded as part of the France 2030 program, CCI Immersion has been delegated to the French Institute and Business France for implementation.
 
This program will give the selected companies an opportunity to:
 
  • Acquire in-depth knowledge of the target countries’ ecosystems
  • Receive support for defining their strategy regarding the challenges and constraints of local markets
  • Benefit from networking opportunities to boost business
 
Participating companies will be introduced to local innovation stakeholders, partners, investors, and potential customers through a series of personalized meetings and participation in influential industry events.
 
Specifically adapted for each country, the program will provide selected companies with three immersion phases:
 
  • Remote immersion using a hybrid format lasting from one to four weeks
  • Group immersion in the country for one to two weeks
  • Continued individual immersion for up to six months for companies that require a longer presence (such as for a long-term project)
