Abstract

Industrial associationism became an urgent need in Latin Europe’s gas sector by the mid-1870s, when they founded the Société Technique de l’Industrie du Gaz (1874) in France. The aim of such associations was to join the efforts of engineers, technicians, and investors not only from the country where they created them, but also from all over the continent. Thus, their members would enjoy a proper atmosphere to share knowledge, explore the chances of capital investments, and establish national and international networks to promote the expansion of the gas sector along the region. Nevertheless, there is a precedent for the Société Technique that has been barely studied up to the present moment: the Société Française de l’Industrie du Gaz, constituted in 1870. The Société Française talks about a pro-association spirit in the sector that might go back to the previous decade. In this chapter we explore the context in which it was created, paying attention to the names, as well as the academic, economic, and national affiliation of its members. Doing so, we will determine the role that it played to trigger the birth of new associations in Latin Europe’s gas industry.
