"Third Industrial Revolution: what appropriation in the territories? "

The Third Industrial Revolution is underway in several European territories: energy transition, digital technologies, post-carbon society, climate change adaptation, etc. How can we ensure that all citizens (inhabitants, entrepreneurs, decision-maker, young people, etc.) are involved in this momentum, through their work, their daily lives or their projects?
