For three years, Smavlot47, in collaboration with the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the BPI and local authorities, has been working to provide responses to the societal and economic challenges of rural areas. Through the “Mon Incroyable Quotidien” event, a collective dynamic is created. This itinerant project support program highlights the importance of reinventing ourselves to respond to the rapid changes in our society. “Faced with changes in our society and our consumption patterns, meeting to share our ideas is essential to the revitalization of our territories”declares Jacques Borderie, president of Smavlot47. “For a village, hosting such events is a fantastic opportunity for dynamism and modernity. »
36 hours for innovative projects
On October 28 and 29, at Temple-sur-Lot, the event will take the form of a 36-hour creative marathon. The participants, gathered in teams of six to fifteen people, will have to develop their ideas, whether they are projects in the field of health, sport, mobility or even ecological transition. With the support of local experts, entrepreneurs, elected officials, traders and specialists in the world of health and well-being, each project will be challenged, tested and refined, to bring to life concrete solutions that meet the needs of residents.
This entrepreneurial marathon aims to provide a framework conducive to the development of new ideas, while allowing project leaders to review their business plan and benefit from sound advice. The objective: to set energies in motion and inspire local initiatives that will transform the daily lives of citizens.
Prizes to accelerate projects
At the end of these 36 intense hours, a jury made up of elected officials and local partners will award rewards to the teams who have been able to convince. Financial grants as well as support services in creation and communication will encourage the most promising projects. “Accelerating your project in a setting such as Temple-sur-Lot is a real asset”underlines Jacques Borderie. “We are convinced that collective intelligence can create a catalytic effect in the service of the territory. »
For the president of Smavlot47, this event is part of a broader vision of a “incredible territory” where everyone can contribute to the local quality of life, while benefiting from regional know-how and solid support for innovation. The natural setting of the Lot valley, with its vineyards and picturesque villages, offers an environment favorable to well-being and conviviality, essential elements for the success of these initiatives.
