A year of transition led to the creation of a think tank that made national headlines with its innovative approach to politics and citizen engagement. Now, the journey continues with the launch of a global consultancy in urban policy, digital cities, and mobility, bridging Bretagne and Japan through collaboration and shared vision. Upcoming Tokyo visits will further solidify this international partnership, turning transformative ideas into reality.
Last year, I decided to enter into a #transition phase. I went back to my #homeland (#Bretagne / #Brittany) to launch a new #thinktank – Breizh Civic Lab (www.civiclab.bzh) – focusing on #politicalinnovation in regional and urban policies as well as #collectiveintelligence through #citizensparticipation. We launched a massive #survey which had a large #influence in the media, even at the French national level.
This new year #2020 will be much more enthusiastic. I am launching a new international #consulting company in the areas of #urbanpolicies, #digitalcities and #newmobility. I will target different markets : #Bretagne, #France, #Europe and #Japan, and particularly their interactions through #cooperation.
In #Japan, I will work with a local partner based in #Tokyo. Trips are already planned in May and July to visit potential Japanese customers (let’s meet at your office !).
Last but not least, I am already engaged in a fascinating European #interreg mission, as urban policies #expert. Other missions are also supposed to come soon …
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone in the #world !
