How do you start working or building a business abroad? Cédric Tumminello (Hello Mira) talks with José Cuacés, international advisor at CCI International Hauts-de-France (Team France Export), and Fabrice Panchout, who supports companies and candidates with the VIE programme at Business France. José shares his journey from Santa Marta to Lille, founding PopFresh between Latin America and Europe, and what his job involves day to day: assessing a company’s export project, preparing it, and Team France Export’s one-stop shop. He also gives his perspective on business culture in Colombia and on Medellín. Fabrice then explains the VIE (Volontariat International en Entreprise, France’s international corporate volunteer programme): who can apply, mission length, the country-based allowance, health coverage, the most in-demand destinations, how to apply on mon-vie-via.businessfrance.fr and how a company can recruit a volunteer. The conditions mentioned are those presented during the live; check the current rules on the official website. Recorded on October 9, 2026, with French, English and Spanish subtitles.
