CAP Charente: A Collective Initiative Serving the Region

CAP Charente was born from a shared conviction among all regional stakeholders: businesses, intermunicipal authorities, and economic partners joined forces to make Charente an attractive and competitive industrial region. Led by the Charente Employers' Union, this collective initiative is driven by a simple ambition: to provide project leaders with structured, transparent, efficient, and free support, backed by the mobilization of all those who contribute to Charente’s economy.

A Collective Momentum for Businesses

CAP Charente embodies a collective dynamic that brings together all stakeholders involved in regional economic development (government services, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, intermunicipal authorities, chambers of commerce, development agencies, and business networks) to provide coordinated support for every project leader throughout their business establishment process.

An initiative driven by the region’s stakeholders, serving those who wish to establish themselves, grow, and build their future in Charente.

Clear and Strongly Held Values

CAP Charente is built on simple yet essential principles: cooperation between public and private stakeholders, transparency of information, clarity of business establishment pathways, respect for local realities, and attention to both projects and people. These values guide the entire initiative and shape the way the region welcomes businesses, ensuring support that is clear, effective, and respectful, capable of sustaining projects over the long term and strengthening Charente’s economic attractiveness.

CAP Charente: A Platform Designed as a Gateway and Guidance Hub

CAP Charente is not intended to replace existing competencies. The platform acts as a gateway and guidance hub designed to structure initial discussions, clarify processes, and facilitate connections with the appropriate contacts. It relies on close collaboration with intermunicipal authorities, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, government services, chambers of commerce, and business networks. This organization enables a coherent, transparent approach that respects the role and expertise of each stakeholder.

The Charente Employers' Union, Driving the Initiative

A recognized stakeholder in the region, the Employers' Union brings businesses together, represents their interests, and promotes dialogue with local authorities, the Region, and government services. It advocates for the economic and social interests of businesses, supports local economic dynamics, and contributes to a shared vision of regional development. Within the framework of CAP Charente, it assumes a coordinating and facilitation role in service of the region and its partners.
