Signature of an agreement between UPHF and the regional committee of Foreign Trade Advisors

Foreign trade advisors (CCEs) are volunteer managers, business executives, independent professionals or academics recognized for their expertise in international economic relations. Their missions are to support the action of public authorities for the international development of companies, in particular in favor of SMEs, and to support the training and accompaniment of young people on international markets, in particular the promotion of Volontariat International en Entreprise (VIE).

With this in mind, an agreement was signed at the IAE premises (IIM building) on September 7 by UPHF President Abdelhakim Artiba and Hugues Vinchon, Vice-President of the Hauts-de-France regional CCE committee (founder of INSIDE THE BIZ, a consultant specializing in innovation management and international development).

The CCE network provides students with professional skills in international development covering a very wide range of countries and fields (analysis and knowledge of foreign markets, business sectors, cross-cultural management...).

The sponsor of the convention is Mr. Pascal Hervieu, founder of Compact Ingéniérie, a consultant specializing in engineering after having been CEO of EURAGGLO for nearly 30 years, a highly internationalized SME located in Quiévrechain which produces and assembles compaction and granulation equipment. He is a sponsor of the convention, i.e. the link between UPHF and the committee.

The event took place in the presence of Mohamed Ramdani (IAE Director) Isabelle Alphonse-Tilloy (Pedagogical Manager), and Abdelhak Kabila (Vice President delegated to relations with territories and campuses).
