When collectives committed to socio-ecological change act as incubators: the contribution of two committed organisations, La Fresque du Climat and L'Archipel la Bascule. In response to the insufficient or too slow transformation of societal models in the face of ecological challenges, some individuals are committing themselves personally and professionally to the ecological transition with a dual objective: to seek alignment between values, convictions and practices, both in the professional and personal spheres, but above all to contribute to ecological shifts, i.e. to aim for alignment with social and ecological limits. Here, we focus on the project leaders of these initiatives, who are initiating a dual movement of change and entrepreneurship. Drawing on their life stories, we seek to identify what makes their transition to action possible and encourages it. We report on how two committed collectives contribute to making this activist entrepreneurship possible. We discuss the specificities and complementarities of these collectives as committed communities of practice and emerging incubators. Within the literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, our contribution helps to nurture the notion of activist entrepreneurship and its support.
