Ecosystème entrepreneurial local et finance participative : les enjeux d’une coopération

Many academic works recount the relationship between entrepreneurship, territory and collective dynamics. Similarly, different conceptual territorial innovation models are attached to represent the link between geographic proximity, innovation and competitiveness. In France, many crowdfunding platforms have seen since 2010 to meet the difficulties of financing of innovative projects. These new players challenge existing devices to aid in the creation, development and support of innovative companies in the territories. This work seeks to understand the issues of cooperation brought about by this participatory finance in the constitution of'communities' digital. How do the territories seek to capitalize these dynamics in a process for capturing these communities around a will of territorialized economic development ? Through an approach focused on the actors in the social economy and solidarity who, historically, organized locally to meet the diversity of the issues of territories, this research aims to answer the following question : how to organize the cooperation by stakeholders in the SSE, via participatory finance, in an entrepreneurial ecosystem ? On the one hand it's question on how to consider cooperation in funding decisions between different actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in a territory, and, on the other hand, imagine how to switch from a virtual community to a community approach by the digital revolution in geographically delimited areas.
