The Scottish Government France team works on increasing our influence, engagement, and collaboration with French partners in the national and regional governments as well as at city/town level. We seek to increase strong links between French and Scottish businesses, academia, cultural and diaspora organisations and to seek to identify opportunities for collaboration.
