About

THE FRENCH FOOD CONNECTION is a non-profit professional food event organized by Ubifrance to help French food producers find the right partners and develop their business in the U.S. This trade show reunites suppliers of gourmet French products on a weeklong road show spanning Los Angeles, Washington, DC and Miami. Now in its fourth year and despite small obstacles like a 100% tax on Roquefort, the French Food Connection continues to serve as a catalyst for the inclusion of new French goods on the American market. From artisanal cheeses and chocolates to fragrant frozen herbs and fish stews, products for diverse pockets and palates will be presented in each city. Local importers, distributors, hoteliers, buyers, and specialty-food press are all welcome to taste.
 
UBIFRANCE and the network of Trade Commissions together constitute the French government's corporate international expansion support framework, and, every year, help over 13,000 companies of all sizes and from all sectors to develop their activities worldwide, thanks to the expertise of 2,500 staff based in France and in 120 countries, who operate through the Trade Commissions of the French Embassies, a network of press offices and numerous approved partners.
 
UBIFRANCE and the network of Trade Commissions offer French businesses a complete range of products and support services for their expansion into foreign markets — targeted information about opportunities and major players in every sector; updates on changes in laws and regulations; data on international funding and invitations to tender; sector monitoring services; invitations to canvassing missions, trade fairs abroad, and partnership meetings; help with international press coverage, etc.
 
The Agency also runs the International Voluntary Service in Business employment scheme (VIE) for companies seeking internationally mobile graduates.
