Finding clients for European call centers

[touraine]

Greetings!

I am the president of a new US development Agency representing the Touraine (Loire Valley) region of France. This beautiful region, only an hour South of Paris by train is not only well known for its famous chateaux but for its booming service sector and its new all centers. Known for its steady workforce, it is said that the best French spoken in France is in this area (no regional accent).

One my role is to attract US companies to the Touraine Loire Valley region. The vertical sector I am working right now are call centers. Being a generalist, I know very little about call centers and my question is:

What is the best way to find US companies interested in setting up call centers in Europe and what elements will be important to them? Where can I find written information? Are they books or articles that relate to where a call center should be installed? Are they trade shows that I should attend?


Thank you!!!!

Pierre
