Sponsors Committee
A sponsors committee was established to support the some 600 projects planned for the Year of France in Brazil. The commission brings together 17 French companies that are well established in Brazil: GDF SUEZ, Accor, Air France, Areva, CNP Assurances, Dassault, DCNS, EADS, Alstom, Lafarge, PSA Peugeot Citron, Renault, SaintGobain, Safran, Thals, Vallourec, and the France-Brazil Chamber of Commerce. This committee created a project support fund, a common pot out of which funding was allocated by joint decision of the sponsors and the French Trade Mission.
