A well-grounded company

CA 17 International was created in 2000 in Charente-Maritime (French Region), with an initial aim to valorize and optimize French know-how regarding rural and local development, with an emphasis on managing all aspects by working with professionals and their emanating representative organizations (Consular bodies – Chambers of Agriculture and CCI’s, Agricultural Trade Associations, etc.).

Since its foundation, CA 17 International has steadily distinguished itself from other consulting agencies (mainly based in Paris) by settling in a dynamic region, both on local and rural development grounds, in order to inspire its actions : The Charente-Maritime department.

A CACG company

CA 17 International joined the CACG Group in October 2014. Operating in France and abroad since 1959, the CACG helps territories implement and manage tailored, sustainable solutions with regards to water, energy, agriculture and food sectors.

In a context of climate change and increased pressure on natural resources, CACG’s expertise in water and hydro-agricultural management is well intertwined with CA 17 International’s knowledge for immediate action closer to field issues.

Both entities thus meet on shared values, attentiveness and sharing on long-term actions, in a skills’ transfer and local competence leverage approach.

CA 17 International’s entry into the CACG Group allows our company to leverage its human skills and know-how within this Group and to provide clients with a wide range of expertise.
