The economic policy of the government, which will deprive it of 37% of its financial resources over three years, with a forecast of minus €14.8 million in 2015, put the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in severe difficulty. Therefore, it had to move from protest to become a force for proposals and maintain its role as the spokesperson for the economic fabric of the Nice metropolis.
Failing to do so, the future would be one of marginalization or even proven uselessness.
While the reserve fund cuts will affect investments (though the most significant and eagerly awaited one, the Apprenticeship Campus in the Plain of Var, should find respite), the real challenge is to imagine the CCI of the future…
Necessity arguing for intelligence, the OpenCCI project is heading towards a CCI 2.0 that will reinvent its relationship with businesses by creating new proximities (even if virtual).
Moreover, in a world where the relationship to time and space is profoundly altered and the distance between the two practically annulled, continuing to offer a counter and meetings with included travel means, for an institution whose representativeness is far from being proven, heading straight for disaster.
Thus, it will be a 100% online CCI that Bernard Kleynhoff, the consular president, has advocated and which will be available to businesses starting next November 3, allowing companies to benefit as much as possible from the services offered.
This virtual platform meets the need for innovation to address the needs of businesses and allows collaborators to have a communication and work tool in line with today’s reality.
And by the way, to minimize travel and meetings for a more on-demand and effective usage.
