France Week 2025: Innovation and Franco-Dominican Cooperation

France Week 2025, organized by the French-Dominican Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFD), was held from November 12th to 15th at the JW Marriott Santo Domingo Hotel, establishing itself as one of the country’s main business forums. Under the theme “Blue Economy and Smart Cities”, the event reaffirmed its role as a key platform to promote sustainability, technological innovation, and smart urban development.

Alburquerque Abogados was present, actively supporting its strategic partners and reinforcing its commitment to initiatives that strengthen business relations, bilateral cooperation, and the sustainable development of the Dominican Republic.

More than 800 business leaders, investors, authorities, and institutional representatives —together with the firm’s Partners Laura Polanco, Prinkin Jiménez, and Gina Hernández— participated in conferences, workshops, and networking sessions aimed at boosting economic cooperation between France and the Dominican Republic. Discussions focused on sustainable mobility, energy, waste management, green financing, and the responsible use of marine resources.

Throughout the week, the country’s progress in urban mobility was highlighted, and leaders whose initiatives drive innovation and sustainability in both markets were recognized.
