It is due to a number of unique characteristics of the #wine: 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 Chenin is one of the most versatile white grape varieties, capable of producing a wide range of wine styles from dry to lusciously sweet, still to sparkling. This versatility allows #buyers to source diverse offerings to meet various consumer preferences and market demands. 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Chenin has an excellent ability to transparently express the terroir characteristics of where it is grown. Its flavor profile can range from fresh and mineral in cool climates like the Loire Valley. This terroir expression appeals to buyers seeking wines with a sense of place. 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 High-quality Chenin wines, particularly from the Loire Valley can age remarkably well for decades, developing complex flavors of honey, nuts, and beeswax over time. This aging potential makes Chenin attractive for buyers looking to offer age-worthy white wines. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝘀 Chenin offers a distinctive and complex array of aromas and flavors, including quince, pear, citrus, honeysuckle, cheese rind, and caramel.

🇫🇷🏦 Economic Update | Foreign Investments in France 🌟💪 France maintains its position as the top European destination for foreign investments for the fifth consecutive year, according to the 2024 EY Attractiveness Barometer. Despite a slight decrease in investment projects, France leads with 1,194 announced projects, surpassing both the UK and Germany. This reflects the country's solid economy and attractiveness to investors. Minister Bruno Le Maire emphasises the stability of France's economic policies as a key factor in this success. 🏭💡 With a focus on industrial revitalisation, France has seen a significant increase in projects related to manufacturing, surpassing its European counterparts. Key strengths highlighted by investors include the quality of the French workforce and the favourable legal and regulatory environment. However, challenges such as energy prices and taxation persist. Despite these challenges, France's continued attractiveness for foreign investment underscores its resilience and strategic positioning in Europe.

The Grand Est Region of France has signed a #concession agreement with the Nova 14 #consortium to reopen the 75-kilometer Nancy – Contrexéville line, which has been closed since 2016, for passenger service and to maintain the infrastructure during the 22-year concession period. The Nova 14 #consortium includes companies #NGEConcessions (50%), Transdev (20%), and Banque des Territoires (30%) (part of the Groupe Caisse des Dépôts). The signing of the concession agreement also led to the financial closure of €200 million for the 22-year concession period. The European Investment Bank (EIB) will provide a loan for 50% of the total amount, while CIC, La Banque Postale , Caisse d'Epargne Ile-de-France, and NORD/LB will provide the remaining amount in equal shares. #UII #Rebuilding #Ukraine #Reconstruction #Rebuild #investinukraine #donors #publicprivatepartnerships #infrastructure #projectfinance #infrastructureprojects #DueDiligence #infrastructurefinance #investment #investing #FinancialResearch #Projectfunding #CapitalInvestment #InfrastructureInvesting #ESG #PPP #PublicFinance #investproject #institutionalinvestors #investmentmanager

Our CEO Santiago Flores had the opportunity to interview with, Julie Ducos, a reporter for a French media company, Challenges. Thank you to Cameron Edinburgh and Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) for the opportunity to share our experience! The report highlights how the IRA's robust incentive package can catalyze municipal adoption of Cleantech solutions by providing access to a wide range of tax benefits and subsidies. "When your government launches an initiative, you can stay inactive or play the game. I chose to participate in the national effort". Santiago Flores Remember, our United States Constitution was designed to move forward regardless of who is President, by coming together as a community and execute readily available solutions, is the only way we can bring abundance to the world around us. The economic impact of cleantech, deep tech, and other decarbonization technologies is accelerating, and these solutions are playing a crucial role in developing the next generation of infrastructure. As we prepare to host major international events such as the World Cup, Olympics, and Super Bowl, these technologies will ensure that America showcases its commitment to sustainability and innovation.

[Islands Call results] 🏄‍♂️ Excited to share highlights from the "Zero Plastic on the îles d’Or Archipelago and Replication in the Mediterranean" project, supported by BeMed in 2020. This project from SMILO - Small Islands Organisation aims to make the Iles d'Or a pilot region for plastic waste management in the South Region of France and across the #Mediterranean.   👉 Key achievements: - Established a micro-production line for Provence cane objects, replacing single-use plastic items like cutlery, ice cream spoons, and straws, promoting local material reuse. - Developed a bio-based resin from date palm residues on Kerkennah for creating biodegradable cup prototypes, addressing agricultural waste issues and opening new opportunities for local stakeholders.   🏋‍♀️ Challenges encountered: - Scaling up production on the Iles d’Or requires investment in specialized machinery, which local producers are hesitant to make. - Creating an economically viable production line for bio-based alternatives in Tunisia is challenging due to higher costs compared to plastic items.   🎙 Visibility and impact: - Produced videos and podcast episodes to highlight project activities and raise awareness, reaching both French and English-speaking audiences. - Organized events and international meetings to promote #zerowaste solutions and share experiences.   We are proud of the progress made by the supported projects in 2020 and look forward to support new ones in 2024 ! 🌍 #BeMed #Sustainability #PlasticFreeFuture #OpenCall

Some details from my last trip to the island of Marie Galante in the French Caraibeans: Marie Galante is located south of Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean, It's a small island, about 61 square miles. To give you some proportions, it's about one tenth the size of Guadeloupe. You can reach Marie Galante either by boat or small planes; there's a tiny airport. It takes about an hour to get there using a ferry-type boat. Depending on who you ask and when, there are between 10,000 and 15,000 people living on this little island. In contrast, Guadeloupe has about 400,000 people, and Martinique around 350,000. Marie Galante is super flat, with no hills or mountains, unlike Guadeloupe and Martinique. The soil on Marie Galante is mostly chalk, while it tends to be clay in Guadeloupe. The sun is beaming on the island all day, everyday. As a result Marie Galante is known as the last sugarcane island in the Caribbean because in terms of surface area planted with sugarcane relative to the total island area, it has the most sugarcane of all the Caribbean - about 20% - when Guadeloupe is at about 7% (Martinique clocks in around 3%). Historically, Marie Galante's trade was initially cotton, coffee, and indigo, but very quickly shifted to mainly sugarcane. The soil is pristine; there's never been an extensive culture of bananas here, which on other islands often involves heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides. The locals consider their soil as close to organic as possible, comparable only to Haiti. There are 5 distilleries on island making the island in the French Caribbean's with the most distilleries per square miles: - Grande Anse is the large industrial facility - Bellevue the largest artisanal players - Bielle - then Poisson which makes the brand Pere Labat - and RhumRhum (micro distillery, initially operating within Bielle and since 2021 at Pere Labat).

📰 Don't miss the interview of Marie-Caroline Laurent, CLIA Director General Europe speaking about the current trends and the state of the cruise industry in 2024, published in La Tribune Région Sud : 🗣️"We are carrying out a study, with Oxford Economics, to deepen the industry's economic impact and in more detail than what we have been able to do in the past, mainly based on questionnaires or passengers. The study will model passenger movements, which will help us identify points of tension, opportunities, and uncrowded neighbourhoods for example. This will help to assess tourism flow." ⤵️ Laurence Bottero #ResponsibleTourism #EconomicImpact
