Observatoire du Naturel

    The Natural Products World Observatory is, first and foremost, a strategy and a concept

     A territorial strategy which aims to reinforce economic dynamics through development of existing companies, while at the same time attracting new investors...

The Club des Entrepreneurs du Pays de Grasse is an association created in 1997 which serves as an interprofessional networking and exchange resource for its more than 90 business-leader members from the Grasse region.

Initiatives undertaken by the Club focus on public and private issues involving the Grasse territory, and seek to unite the two domains in constructive local development efforts.

It is open to all persons bearing economic responsibilities interested in the future of the Pays de Grasse (Grasse region) and who wish to be actively involved in, or of service to, the area’s economic future.

Our commitment

As a strategic “think tank,” leadership resource, and tool to stimulate economic activity for both the region and its members, the Club des Entrepreneurs du Pays de Grasse strives to be a creative, professional force in strengthening Grasse’s economic image and international reputation, and on which contributes to the development of local businesses.

Through training programs, conferences, and proactive generation of initiatives and proposals, the Club dovetails the economic strategy defined by the Communauté d’Agglomération Pôle Azur Provence. More particularly, it helps to implement the major projects planned by Pôle Azur Provence through its state-regional and departmental contracts established with the French/Provence-Alpes-Cote-d’Azur and Alpes-Maritimes governments, respectively.

The Club works through initiatives supporting exchange and widespread cooperation between companies, such as:

- coordinating usage conditions for mutualized tools, services, or equipment

- promoting the industry’s savoir faire on an international scale

- strengthening the innovative capacity of its companies

- supporting a dynamic of encounters and exchanges

- spotlighting implemented initiatives to attract new industry players

- involving companies in a collective CSR approach towards sustainable development

- protecting the agricultural heritage found in the ancestral savoir faire of the Grasse region

…and to at last speak with one voice: "Grasse, French Riviera, Land of Naturals."

Generating initiatives and supporting trade and idea exchange require a convivial business climate and a spirit of cooperation. Group gatherings help create bonds of friendship and are essential to our the long-lasting success of our network and its goals, so we hold "festive" meetings that are essential to getting to know others, such as the Club dinners (every 2 months), themed evening activities (introduction to the secrets of essential oils), cultural get-togethers, or company tours.
