Focus: Normandie, Pilot Region with the deployment of the Xport Accelerator

Launched in Normandie in 2018 with a spirit of openness, the Xport Accelerator provides, under the leadership of the Normandie Development Agency, a one-stop shop for all Normandie businesses wishing to develop their export turnover.

“Out of the 207 businesses supported by the Xport accelerator since it was created, 30% are first-time exporters, which confirms the relevance of the Normandie system for export. These positive results are the result of a simplified approach, combined with competitive financing. Regional aid for international markets, such as the Impulsion Export scheme and co-payment, have supported around 1,000 Normandie businesses with their export efforts, up to a total of €17 million over three years. This assessment makes Normandie the second most open region to the outside world. ” 

Hervé Morin, President of the Normandie Region
