Chinese Business Club: At the Heart of France's Premier Business Network

Create opportunities for meeting and dialogue with key players

Harold Parisot understands the full importance of having a strong network to unlock the full potential of his business. His Chinese Business Club, which Laurent Dassault was one of the first supporters of, has become an unmissable venue in France's business landscape over the past decade.

The mission is simple yet ambitious: creating opportunities for meeting and dialogue with players in the economic world. This is achieved via the organization of exclusive events that nurture high-quality interactions. In this way, the club offers a prestigious environment where exchanges occur naturally.

Cocktail parties and business lunches, in particular, are moments when encounters are encouraged. These convivial occasions are essential for building trust and setting up future collaborations. The concept seems very effective: 90% of members renew their membership each year.

An influential address book

The network provided by the Chinese Business Club is a major asset. Its members, most notably high-level decision-makers, business leaders, investors, and journalists, come from very diverse backgrounds. Harold Parisot boasts of 130 member companies and an influential address book: regular attendees include, Michelle Alliot-Marie, Jacques Séguéla, Guillaume Sarkozy, and Bernard de la Villardière, who is also the president of France's Press Club.

Each monthly luncheon highlights a guest who shares their insights and experiences. The club has hosted personalities such as Prince Albert II of Monaco, Tony Parker, Edouard Philippe, Sophie Marceau, and on June 24, Eric Larchevêque, founder of the unicorn company Ledger. The September 30 lunch will honor criminology professor Alain Bauer.

Beyond access to a quality network, members benefit from the visibility and credibility associated with the business network. Participating in these events means positioning oneself as a key player in one's sector, gaining recognition and broadening one's horizons.

An accelerator for startups and SMEs

Aware of contemporary challenges, the Chinese Business Club, now « 90% Franco-French », has also decided to open its doors to promising start-ups and SMEs. This is an opportunity for them to gain access to a powerful network. According to Harold Parisot, the club offers a « ready-made address book and a network of investors at the disposal of entrepreneurs, pre-seed and seed-focused start-ups, and very small and medium-sized enterprises to shine in France and internationally ».

The club's opening to SMEs is a particularly welcome initiative. These companies can network with key people in a conducive atmosphere. Some choose to showcase themselves at monthly luncheons, gaining visibility among 300 decision-makers in just 2 hours. Beyond this opportunity, their presence allows them to become known, establish strategic relationships, and benefit from valuable advice.
