Orne Council - Alain Lambert’s Blog

Orne-export.com :

A website dedicate to
the international development
of businesses in the Orne

Through its partner agency, Orne Développement, Orne Council launched in February a new version of its website orne-export.com - a site aimed at helping local businesses to trade at an international level.

The expansion and competitiveness of small- and medium-sized businesses depends on their access to high-quality information. Such an access can give them a head-start and makes them dynamic and pro-active in their field.

The main information that such companies require is:

• Knowledge of different markets
• Knowledge of commercial trends
• Knowledge of international regulations

Orne-export’s objectives

• Allow businesses in the county to access better quality information concerning international trade and globalisation.
• Improve the application of the internet in areas such as economic development and the search for markets
• Develop a one-stop-shop for all international trade information, services and systems in the department
  

Orne-export, leading the way

First launched in 2004, Orne-export has become a significant hub:

• 2,000 companies are profiles on the site
• 4,000 unique visits per month
• 2,055 requests met
  

What’s new on the site?

A geo-political approach: The new site allows visitors to quickly see local and regional initiatives; whilst more space is given to news and information.

Easy navigation and interactivity:

• One-click functionality to quickly get the information needed
• A new forum for exchanging advice about and experience of the international sector, created in collaboration with the Cercle des Exportateurs de l’Orne
• Highly detailed information about countries to trade with
• the “Accompagnement Export” section has information about obtaining finance, an international diary and contacting a dedicated advisor. Put in place with the help of Normanex CRCI, CRMA and Comité d’Expansion Agro-alimentaire de Normandie
