This week French-Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce (CCFL)—including President Anthony Poullain, Director Arina Surpikaitė, Administrator Deimantė Bisikirskaitė, and Business Development Specialist Charlotte Persohn – visited the Alytus City Municipality to deepen bilateral business ties and open international expansion opportunities for local enterprises.
During a working meeting with Mayor Nerijus Cesiulis, Deputy Mayor Lina Gaidžiūnaitė, municipal business specialists, and local business leaders, the discussion focused on practical steps for Lithuanian companies expanding into France.
During CCFL presentation, our team have outlined essential considerations for market entry, covering key aspects such as:
Market research and identifying relevant business opportunities.
Business setup, legal registration, and corporate governance.
Practical nuances of the French tax system and financial regulations.
We have also conducted site visits to prominent local companies, including UAB Glass LT and AB Alita, gaining firsthand insight into Alytus’s manufacturing capabilities and industrial potential.
As part of its mission to foster active networks and business growth, CCFL regularly brings together professionals across sectors through targeted business events and forums. Local business leaders were invited to take part in upcoming initiatives, including:
The Visionaries Women’s Business Forum (November 25 | Novotel Vilnius Centre) – Featuring roundtables and expert panels on marketing, leadership, management, and innovation.
We want to thank Alytus for a warm welcome!
