The Secretary of State for Economic Diversification and Innovation said “it is a very important agreement for us in terms of economic promotion. It will allow us to help all Andorran companies that want to go abroad, taking advantage of the knowledge offered by the French agency “. Missé also remarked that “We cannot afford to access 70 countries, so this partnership opens the doors to international markets for us.
In this regard, ADI’s director added “this agreement helps us in the development of programs and services for Andorran companies in their internationalization process and also explores ways of collaboration between French and Andorran companies in the technology sector “. The agreement also fosters the entry of Actua into different international trade promotion organization networks and provides access to successful models that can be replicated in the Principality.
