Intelligence économique et Développement Durable des territoires

Competitive Intelligence and Sustainable Development of territories: From competitiveness to coopetitiveness

While the official discourse in France calls the relationship between Sustainable Development and Competitive Intelligence, exclusively in its lobbying dimension, the lean existing literature, emphasizes competitiveness aspects by reproducing north-American models unlinked to the environmental dissimilarities, such as entrepreneurial culture and the ecosystems deficiency that catalyze synergies between its numerous stakeholders.

In this paper, we propose one track of Competitive Intelligence replying to a logic of sustainable development, based on an "Quintuple Helix" approach as an approach that overcomes the competitive partitions by founding a paradigm of "coopetition" and "coopetitiveness" through the "intelligent specialization" with a strong societal and economic impact.

This interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach where Competitive Intelligence plays its full mediation role, is characterized by its prospective dimension of "possible futures", exploring opportunities for sustainable development and lighting stakeholder’s actions in the ecosystem.

1. We need to break down the institutional barriers to bring about better ways of providing community infrastructure that can capture value propositions associated with resource potential and shared services on the administrative and operational venues.   We also need to admit that our infrastructure needs to change to the realities of our 21st century world.  Renewable resource integration, resource reclamation and circular economic dynamics need to be implemented.  Normal market dynamics will occur as consumer demand shifts and the market evolves.  There is a latent value potential in the community wastewater dynamic that will change the paradigm of infrastructure development based upon the community wastewater stream as a resource nexus in the water-energy-food paradigm.  This will be driven by the need to prevent environmental pollution and reclaim dwindling natural resources. It is a global economy, it will be a global transition with really unlimited potential as a new marketplace with whole new set of standards evolves.   France has embraced the vision in a big way.  Israel has been a thought and technology leader for decades and the US and China are powerhouses of commercial-technological potential once the market transitions from the recognition of organic waste as a suite of valuable resources instead of something unpleasant that needs to be disposed of.  In the natural planetary spectrum there is no "waste".   We will be transitioning to a new era where our wastewater becomes a fuel and renewable resource for our world.  We are doing it today with the Aquagen Infrastructure Systems planetary restoration technology platform.

2. The road to sustainability is the road less traveled at the fork in the road.  To achieve sustainability and global cooperation we are going to need to follow a different star, breakdown the barriers to collaboration and recognize that we are all in this together.   Like every element in the nationalistic, isolationist model across our utility matrices change is not just inevitable it is critical to our future survival.  I stand ready to help who-ever with whatever to apply my vision and technical prowess to move this agenda forward.
