Co-construct a bio-inspired strategy with local stakeholders

Vertigo Lab has supported the community in developing a coherent, efficient territorial project that serves ecological and energy transition, in a word: bio-inspired.

A diagnosis based on 6 principles of living systems was conducted using a methodology specifically developed for territorial assessments. This methodology utilized tools such as ImpacTer and the material flow assessment.

It highlighted the socio-economic impacts of the region's activities, the material flows at the territorial level, as well as the sectors that generate the most impacts and the most sustainable non-offshorable jobs in the region.

Following this initial review, a co-creation day with the community stakeholders – Vertigo Hack – took place, setting the milestones for the bio-inspired strategy and the action plan that Vertigo Lab is now working on.
