FRENCH MEANS BUSINESS IN THE UNITED STATES
We are pleased to introduce the second edition of our Forum Economique. One day to showcase business, job, and internship opportunities in French. One day to show that French means business in the United States.
In partnership with the Consulate General of France in New Orleans, the Government of Quebec, and Tulane University, we are pleased to host our second annual Forum Économique at Tulane’s Lavin-Bernick Center.
The Forum is a jobs fair and business summit that brings together global businesses, emerging startups, and governmental and nonprofit institutions to discuss business opportunities in French-speaking markets, Louisiana included. We also host panels with some of today's leading business experts and entrepreneurs to discuss bilingual professions and market opportunities.
Last year, we welcomed 40 organizations from 3 countries (France, Canada, and the United States States) and over 500 participants, including the participation of over 15 schools and universities throughout the Gulf South.
