CORA, the Colorado Rhone-Alpes Economic Development Network is an initiative of the French-American Chamber of Commerce which officially launched January 2009.  In March, we had the pleasure of welcoming our first French delegation from that region to attend the Sustainable Opportunities Summit as well as to visit and meet with local businesses and organizations to start building partnerships that would encourage cross-border trade and investment.  AEPI, the Grenoble-Isere Economic Development Agency was instrumental in making this visit happen.
