BIAN in St Malo!

 

On 12 September, the BIAN launched its shared working space at the Saint-Malo port branch in presence of the Minister for Sustainable Economic Development of Jersey, Kirsten Morel, as well as the President of the Brittany Region, Loïg Chesnais-Girard and his two vice-presidents, Stéphane Perrin-Sarzier and Daniel Cueff.

The links between the Brittany region and the Channel Islands were formalized through the signing of a partnership agreement in 2023, covering renewable maritime energy, low-carbon maritime transport and youth mobility.

The partners have since deepened the relationship this year through workshops on economic exchanges, tourism and yachting.

On the political level, a summit is organized each year with elected officials from the Channel Islands, the Department of Ille-et-Vilaine and the Brittany Region to take stock of the work carried out and the prospects to be given.

Providing, from 12 September, a space to welcome and work together constitutes a new step in the cooperation between the Channel Islands and the Region. The office is open to any Channel islander wishing to forge links with Brittany, whether at the institutional level or for a business meeting. For any information on the terms and conditions and reservation of the meeting room, please contact BIAN contact@bianfrance.org 02 31 38 21 40.

Warm thanks to the Region for opening their premises!
