Franchise Expo Paris, the international business trade show, will be held from March 14 to 17, 2010, at the Exhibition Center at Porte de Versailles in Paris, Pavilion 3.
On a 23,000-square-meter area, Franchise Expo Paris will host French and international franchise brands from 75 business sectors. Four of those sectors are particularly innovative and growing fast: fashion/beauty/health, home decoration/equipment, catering/food trade and services to individuals and businesses. This year, the show is opening American and Canadian pavilions for the first time.
As a privileged exchange platform between franchise and investor networks, the trade show expects 30,000 visitors looking for business opportunities. In 2009, 13% of attendees were foreign, from 78 countries. Franchise Expo Paris is the only trade show to provide future business owners with a chance to discover the interior decoration and ambience of French and foreign stores in such large numbers. In 2010, most of the 450 exhibiting brands will once again be reproducing their franchise concept within their booths to help investors find the one that suits them best.
