The Franco-British Trade & Investment Awards are back to recognise and reward the best of French and British business across the breadth of both countries.

A ceremony will be held at the Residence of His Majesty’s British Ambassador to France on 6 December 2023.

The Franco-British Trade & Investment Awards are an opportunity to recognise and promote excellence in technology and innovation, commitment to sustainability and SME success in the Franco-British business community.

Run as a collaboration between the Commercial Section of the British Embassy in Paris and the Franco-British Chamber, our Awards celebrate commercial and economic success stories between France and the United Kingdom across strategic sectors, underlining shared business priorities and partnerships as a key part of the Franco-British bilateral relationship.

Companies of all sizes and from across the UK and France are encouraged to apply for our Awards. Businesses need to demonstrate commercial success and a commitment to Franco-British business ties. The Jury will look to reward both large and small businesses’ success stories in terms of cross-Channel trade and investment.

To mark the upcoming 120-year anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, current 150-year anniversary of the Chamber and following a historic UK-France Summit in March 2023, this year our Awards have a special focus on Franco-British partnerships. Any UK or French company committed to bolstering bilateral business ties between the UK and France is encouraged to apply for the special Franco-British Partnerships Award.

Following the success of our past two editions of the Franco-British Trade & Investment Awards, this year we are happy to feature the following categories, each recognising a particular aspect of business excellence:

• Technology & Innovation Award
• Sustainability Award
• SME of the Year Award
• Partnership Award

We are pleased to announce that applications have officially opened. Businesses of all sizes on either side of the Channel are encouraged to apply before 6 October 2023.
