Saint-Martin at the Paris Fair 

With over 400,000 visitors, 90% of whom are buyers, World in Paris is the commercial and media showcase for international craftsmanship in France. Over 12 days and across 25,000 square metres of exhibition space spread over two halls, the event showcases more than 500 artisans, producers and entrepreneurs from overseas territories and all corners of the globe. Saint Martin’s participation is part of a strategy aimed at boosting the territory’s visibility, supporting business development and facilitating access to new markets. In 2025, the Saint Martin stand served over 600 meals in the catering area, the average spend at the stand was €65, and the participating businesses secured an average of 12 leads. This year, ten businesses will be showcasing their artisanal expertise in the capital: 3 jewellery designers (Kréoli Bijoux, SC Company, Tagloonink), 3 clothing and accessories companies (Love, SXM One Island, Soualiga Slangs) and 3 food and beverage entrepreneurs (Golden Grove Farm, Exodus Juice Bar and the restaurant Chez Ginette) and Armelle B with her turned wooden pens. The Collectivité is providing financial support for this participation, covering 87% of the costs (€148,988), whilst the CCISM is deploying a dedicated team to prepare, coordinate and support the businesses, with a commitment of €14,865.
