La French Day is a digital event taking place on 7 September 2021 with Scottish Development International and Scottish Chambers of Commerce, which will provide Scottish companies opportunities to learn how to grow their business in France, through sector-specific and thematic workshops. 

France is an important economic partner for Scotland. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, France was the second-largest international market for Scottish companies with an export value of around £3 billion recorded in 2018 across a huge variety of business sectors: food and drink, engineering, life sciences, technical services, and financial services.

Despite the EU exit and the Covid-19 pandemic, France remains an attractive market for Scottish companies.
