"On January 1st, 2016, the French regions experienced a territorial reform which led to the merger of several French regions. On the Normandie-Picardie consortium territory, the Upper and Lower Normandy regions are reunited to form the Normandie region and Picardie region is attached to the Nord de France region. In parallel, on January 1st, 2016, the CCI of Haute-Normandie and the CCI of Basse Normandie merged and became CCI Normandie. In the same vein, on July 1st, 2016, the two Norman regional agencies for innovation are grouped into a single structure named Agence de Développement pour la Normandie (AD Normandie). For the 2017-2018 period, CCI Picardie decided to harmonize the territorial map of the EEN consortium with the French administrative regions. Thereby, on January 1st, 2017, CCI Picardie will withdraw from the consortium Normandie-Picardie to join the EURACTE II consortium in this new COSME SGA 2. The new Normandie consortium succeeds the Normandie-Picardie consortium. It fully pursues its activities to support innovation and internationalization. The new Norman consortium ensures the continuity of all EEN COSME and H2020 services and full ownership of the strategic objectives of its""Framework Partnership Agreement"", to reach the following goals: - Encouraging innovation for sustainable competitiveness, - Integrating the European and international dimension in the strategy of the company, - Encouraging and support any form of business combination, - Increasing the use by SMEs in European programs and funding. The consortium's actions are part of the service of competitiveness, especially through innovation and internationalization of companies in its territory (legal advice, international trade, technological innovation, business conventions, feedback to European entities, etc.)"
