Description

The CLEF club's aim is to develop tools and methods for heightening awareness, training and diagnosis, and assisting companies in their transition to a service economy.

The club's field of action is functional economy, both in its theoretical domain and its operational implications with companies and local authorities.

The initial regional scope of the CLEF Club is the future Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region. The CLEF Club aims to coordinate and implement collective work with its members to promote companies' transition towards this model and enhance regional deployment of the functional service economy.

The CLEF Club therefore aims to bring together all entities with an interest in deploying the service economy in the region and to support companies who engage in collective or individual initiatives.

Qualitative benefits

The CLEF club develops tools and methods for heightening awareness, training and diagnosis, and assists companies in their individual and collective projects.

Its offering is divided up into three categories:

  • Awareness, spin-off, recovery and training activities
  • Diagnostics and support: developing and implementing schemes to help companies in their transition to a service economy.
  • Collaborative projects: developing and encouraging collaborative projects with the active participation of CLEF Club members.

Many projects have been completed or are in progress: join the community of CLEF members for more information, follow project news and contribute in your turn. http://www.iddlab.org/community/pg/groups/2901/

Stages of the initiative

Following collective action on the service economy, CIRIDD decided to create a club in order to keep the momentum going. The club was officially launched by CIRIDD on September 27, 2011 at the Cité du Design under the name Club d’acteurs pour une Économie de Fonctionnalité (CLEF) (Service economy club).

The momentum has since helped generate many projects directly supported by local people in the Loire area. The process then gradually extended to the Rhône-Alpes region with support from the region, and to the Massif Central with ViaMéca and Macéo.

In Rhône-Alpes, the service economy is now part of the regional circular economy strategy and also in the transverse field "Innovation par les Usages" (Innovation driven by use) of the regional innovation strategy for smart specialization (SRI-SI).

Under the leadership of the Loire département, it was decided in May 2014 to strengthen the governance of the Club CLEF to make the Loire a reference region in this domain, serving the regional strategy.
