Agenda 12/10/2013 Item #10D 12/10/2013 10.D. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners approve an agreement between Collier County and RETIS designating Collier County exclusive rights to host the RETIS FACE 6 Executive Training Program in the spring of 2014, approve providing funding in the amount of up to $10,000 for financial support in facilitating the event, and approve that the County's Office of Economic Development will house and provide support staff to the French government's non-profit staff during the program period. The local business community has matched the County's commitments by offering incubator and accelerator space to aid the French companies as they look to establish themselves here. This is a public-private initiative not only involving local government and local businesses, but additionally involving Florida Gulf Coast University and Enterprise Florida. The view to the long term is that RETIS will establish a formal presence in Collier County, treating Collier as its base of operation as it brings French businesses to the region. OBJECTIVE: Approval by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) of an agreement between the County and RETIS, the French network for innovation, to provide Collier County exclusive rights to host the RETIS FACE 6 Executive Training Program in the spring of 2014. The agreement with RETIS for the Spring 2014 FACE 6 Executive Training Program stipulates that RETIS will hold the event in Collier County, Florida, and provides funding in the amount of up to $10,000 to reimburse travel and lodging costs associated with attending the event for up to ten (10) French innovation companies, at up to $1,000 per approved company. On November 12, 2013 (Agenda item 16.F.4.), the Board approved a Resolution supporting this international business initiative subject to the execution of a formal agreement between the parties. This agenda item provides this agreement. CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County in conjunction with other community organizations, including the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, began communicating with representatives from the PACA Innovation organization of France during an initial visit in February 2013, regarding potential international economic development collaboration with Collier County. In two subsequent visits to Collier County coordinated by the Chamber, occurring in April and September of this year, the PACA/RETIS group continued discussions of establishing an international partnership with Collier County. The essential points of the partnership would: 1) create a soft landing zone providing technical assistance for selected French companies willing to develop businesses in Collier County and Florida, while 2) providing Collier and Florida innovation companies with facilitated access to French and European business partnerships and international trade. Packet Page-398- 12/10/2013 10.D. As provided for in the Office of Business and Economic Development's FY 2014 Business Plan, and formally adopted by the Board on September 10, 2013, this partnership would advance a key goal of international business development with potential for foreign-direct investment. On October 8, 2013, representatives from RETIS submitted an action plan outlining a proposal for Collier County to host RETIS's 2014 FACE 6 Executive Training Program. The FACE 6 Executive Training Program equates to an international business development mission affording our community an opportunity to recruit those desirable international firms to locate in Collier County. The plan outlines the benefits and obligations of both RETIS and Collier County, including a request for Collier County to provide financial support of up to $10,000 to offset transportation and lodging costs for up to 10 French innovation companies as part of Collier's facilitation of their participation the RETIS FACE 6 Executing Training Program planned for the spring of 2014. The partnership with RETIS will further facilitate the County's economic development by increasing international business opportunities that will create high value jobs for County residents and businesses. The opportunity to host the next FACE 6 Executive Training Session will contribute to Collier County's position as a hub for French and European companies aiming to expand in Florida, while assisting Florida-based innovation companies in gaining access to French and European business or technology incentives or other partnerships. The Office has worked to create a mutually beneficial agreement with RETIS that will allow Collier County to exclusively host the Spring 2014 RETIS FACE 5 Executive Training Program in the months of either March or April of 2014. The Office will continue relationship building with RETIS and pursue garnering local partner and community support to facilitate a successful event in the spring. The County's Office of Economic Development will house the French government delegation during the pendancy of the program, while the private sector will provide incubator and accelerator space on terms agreed to by the private parties and RETIS. FISCAL IMPACT: The maximum cost to the County for this in-bound international business development mission is $10,000, to offset transportation and lodging costs up to $1,000 each, for up to 10 French innovation companies' visiting Collier County for the 2014 FACE 5 program in the spring of 2014. Sufficient funds are available in the Economic Development budget for the proposed program. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK Packet Page-399- 12/10/2013 10.D.
