De nouveaux lieux d’innovation en France à travers la mutualisation de services

Abstract

In a context of the growth of the intangible economy, we see paradoxically the development of physical places promoting the cooperation of companies and workers. This includes third-places, coworking spaces, fab labs and physical spaces for the mutualization of infrastructures and services for the benefit of companies. Their creation is prompted by territorial collectivities seeking a renewal of their development policy and by clusters of companies. Our study is based on nine monographs of projects located in France and characterized by the implementation of a service offering (offices, access to infrastructure, computer equipment, common secretariat, spaces of conviviality) in a physical place for the benefit of companies and individuals
