A joint construction

The creation of a territorial brand is something that just does not happen by accident. It is the result of a long reflection and consultation.

This initiative was launched in the Stade des Alpes in front of a 130 people audience representing partners in the initiative from universities, the non-profit sector, cultural organisations, economic bodies, etc.

A major survey was organized addressing four target groups : residents, students, business leaders and tourists. In total, 7,000 replies were collected and analyzed.

REFLECTION

A delierative process was defined, focusing on six themes :

  • Attractiveness
  • Hospitality, vitality and quality of life
  • Collective innovation and a collaborative, creative, civic and social economy
  • nternational economics
  • City and mountain destination
  • The appeal of the university

AREAS OF ACTIVITY

Four areas of action were singled out :

  • Provide proof of economic vitality
  • Connect all the drivers of attractiveness 
  • Make the transition from an “intelligent city” to a “city of well-being”: education, culture, leisure, air quality, transport, etc. 
  • Connect the city to the mountains
