Abstract: The current research questions how meta-organisation of collaborative spaces may reduce innovation gaps between rural and urban areas. For this purpose, the emergent role played by collaborative spaces in local development surfaces the cooperation among initiatives located in diverse areas. By using a qualitative approach, the exploration took place within the headquarter of a cross-national association of creative hubs. The main findings emphasise the evolution of the association which has been able to seize their relation capital to be less dependent on their members, and to gain resources on its own through project funded by public institutions. In so doing, the meta-organisation turned into an implicit agent of public institutions capable to gain and distribute resources to both members and partners, mainly not creative hubs.
