Inter-Made
Inter-Made is a social and solidarity economy incubator based in the South east of France that supports economic, social, and environmental projects at every stage of their development. It works alongside leaders of associations, businesses, and cooperatives committed to serving their territories. Its commitment and support programs are grounded in social utility, strong local roots, shared governance, and economic viability.
Inter-Made delivers a range of support programs tailored to different stages of project maturity. These programs combine individual support, workshops, and cooperative dynamics to help structure business models, strengthen social and environmental impact, and secure long-term development. As a certified training organization, Inter-Made also provides training for leaders and employees in the social and solidarity economy, and facilitates spaces that encourage peer exchange and resource sharing.
Inter-Made is deeply engaged in collective dynamics, notably through the facilitation of a regional community developed with La Ruche Marseille, bringing together more than 1,400 project leaders. It also leads the Fabrique à Initiatives, a program designed to identify unmet social needs and support the emergence of entrepreneurial solutions in response to local challenges, in close connection with territorial stakeholders.
At the national level, Inter-Made is a member of the Kiif, an inter-territorial alliance of social innovation support organizations. The Kiif designs and deploys ambitious national programs aimed at supporting bold projects and emerging sectors. This cooperation enables the testing of shared approaches, the scaling of social innovations, and the amplification of their impact across territories.
Inter-Made’s vision aligns with Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics framework, which it uses as a compass for territorial development that reconciles social justice with respect for planetary boundaries. In this context, Inter-Made seeks to enrich its practices by learning from European territories that have already experimented with this approach, through cooperative dynamics involving social economy actors, civil society, and public authorities.
These European and international cooperations aim to strengthen Inter-Made’s strategic thinking, evolve its support practices, and co-create joint projects. They reinforce an action that connects local, regional, national, and European scales, grounded in cooperation and collective intelligence, in support of a fair, sustainable, and living-respectful territorial development.
