Du Cluster à la Symbiose industrielle : Une évolution au cœur de la dynamique économique contemporaine
From Cluster to Industrial Symbiosis: An evolution at the heart of contemporary economic dynamics

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to advance the understanding of how local productive systems (or clusters) evolve and integrate into the contemporary economic dynamics. We show that this evolution internalizes industrial, ecological and social issues and marks a turning point for the notion of the cluster. New collaborative and open models are taking shape. Industrial symbiosis is a perfect illustration. It is based on a collective intelligence resulting from participative governance and an appropriation of the space by the various stakeholders of the territory, who engage in a reflection in several dimensions. The implications are then strong in terms of reformulating the governance arrangements.
