Thierry Drilhon
President of the FRANCO-BRITISH CHAMBER
Both Brexit and COVID-19 have raised unprecedented issues for the entire business community. . Let’s make sure that this particular period leads to a strengthening of the development of economic activities on both sides of the Channel. In this respect, the creation of the Cross-Channel Institute, in partnership with PwC and the British Embassy, is a great opportunity to reinvent our economic & trade relations with the United Kingdom for the coming decades.
