Chambre de commerce et d'industrie des Hauts-de-France

The Chambre de commerce etd'industrie des Hauts-de-France (CCI Hauts de France) is the regional chamber of commerce and industry serving the Hauts-de-France region in northern France. As a public institution, it represents the interests of local businesses, including traders, industrialists, and service providers, and works to promote economic development within the territory. Its core activities include providing information and advice to entrepreneurs, facilitating vocational training and apprenticeship programmes, supporting companies in their efforts to innovate and expand into international markets, and offering assistance with regulatory compliance and digital transformation. The CCI also acts as an interlocutor between the business community and public authorities, conveying the needs and concerns of enterprises to regional and national policymakers. Through its network of affiliated centres and specialised departments, it delivers services such as business creation support, export counselling, and assistance with access to financing. The organisation maintains an official website and two affiliated online platforms that provide resources and tools for its member enterprises.

Its headquarters are located in France, although the exact city is not specified in the available sources. As part of the nationwide CCI network, it operates under the oversight of the French government and contributes to the implementation of national economic policy at the regional level. The CCI Hauts de France has recently been the target of pro‑Russian cyberattacks that temporarily disrupted its website and affiliated platforms, highlighting the importance of its digital infrastructure for service delivery. Despite these incidents, the organisation reported that its systems self‑recovered without data loss and that it has filed police reports and informed the national cybersecurity agency. These events underscore the chamber’s role as a digital service provider for the regional business community while also illustrating the broader cybersecurity challenges faced by French public institutions.
