Welcome to the CCIIF website. It will keep you informed about the Chamber's activities and events, as well as current economic and trade news between Israel and France. It also includes a dedicated area for active CCIIF members.

The Israel-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry was founded in 1957 to help Israeli and French businesses establish and develop trade relations. Since then, we have provided them with a forum where they can benefit from support and assistance through professional networking and expert advice. In addition, the Chamber regularly organizes events such as conferences on the Israeli economy, meetings with Israeli and French leaders, ceremonies recognizing excellence in business relations, and other networking opportunities.

Diplomacy has its ups and downs; good news and bad news can alternate, but the CCIIF's focus is on business, not politics, and we concentrate on the potential outcomes between Israel and France. The remarkably enduring Abraham Accords serve as a prime example of the goals we should strive to achieve.

Despite the upheavals caused by the coronavirus and the war in recent years, the Israel-France Chamber of Commerce has taken several initiatives to continue providing added value to its members and helping them optimize their operations. This new website is the latest example, and we hope you enjoy it.

Executive Chairman, CCIIF 

For 10 months now, our compass has been pointing towards North, the first region in Israel to host a Regional Branch of Israel-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Visits to industrial sites and meetings with the CEOs of local companies have confirmed that they see a true interest in working with France. We also discovered the lack of human resources at all levels of qualification and in all fields, which needed some help to resolve. We are proud to have initiated with Qualita a program which opens integration possibilities and job opportunities for France Olim in the Haifa and Northern districts of Israel. The project is now launched, and its development will depend on the number of local industrialists joining as members CCIIF North.

Next March Israel-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry will award for the second year its Trophies to Israeli companies of all size that have distinguished themselves in their operations with France. In the particularly turbulent period that we have been living through now for years on both economic and political levels, these firms constitute an anchor point between the two countries and allow us to hope for more propitious futures once the current leaders have handed over control. We hope to see many of you on March 4th at the awarding ceremony of these 2026 Trophies, of which attribution rules you’ll find below.
