SUMMARY
Commissioned byADEME and written by Alexeï Tabet, researcher at Télomère Conseil, and Timothée Duverger, head of the TerrESS Chair at Sciences Po Bordeaux, this state-of-the-art report structures the concept of Coopérations Économiques Territoriales de Transition (CETT).
This resource offers the keys to moving from a simple promotional approach to that of a territory-project, demonstrating that sustainable competitiveness no longer depends on interchangeable resources, but on the specification of local assets. By activating deep-rooted know-how, the territory creates differentiating advantages that cannot be relocated.
Cooperation is a central lever for creating economic, social and ecological value, while mastering proximities (cognitive, institutional) becomes a strategic management tool for federating heterogeneous ecosystems. The study also highlights the role of territorial intermediation, essential for translating transition objectives into concrete initiatives.
👉 This approach transforms ecological challenges into pillars of identity and territorial attractiveness, anchored in local well-being and the protection of common resources.
