If the ecological transition does not yet appear to be progressing fast enough in France, it nevertheless reflects a long-term structural trend and remains essential for the future of coming generations, especially as the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly visible.

In this context, the decarbonisation of the most polluting sectors, as well as the adaptation of territories, are crucial.

Industry — which has significantly declined over the past thirty years — can seize many opportunities linked to the ecological transition. It can thus become a driver of industrial transformation and the creation of new activities across local territories.

Based on this observation, the Institut Louis Bachelier (ILB) and the association Les Interpreneurs aim to highlight French know-how and territorial potential by bringing together academic research and local entrepreneurship in this webinar.
