Fédérations d’Entrepreneurs et de Dirigeants de France

FEDIF is an organisation representing at national level associations of French business people, stemming in their overwhelming majority from a Turkish background. FEDIF currently gathers 8 associations (FATIAD, MEDIF, UDEC, UDESEF, UDEF PACA, Syner’J, UDEN and UDEB). FEDIF’s entrepreneurs are established in all big French urban areas such as Paris, Lyon or Marseilles and represent different sectors of the economy: textile, construction, furniture, self-employed professionals, food industry, automotive industry and tourism.

The overall purpose of FEDIF is to promote and develop an entrepreneurial spirit in France.
