Abstract: This article explores how coopetition can accelerate the adoption of technology by agricultural microenterprises in Chad. In developing countries, the majority of farmers remain excluded from technological advances, which are nonetheless essential for the modernization of their practices. Coopetition emerges here as an innovative solution to overcome these barriers. The central question is: how can competing microenterprises cooperate to share technological tools in their respective operations? Through semi-structured interviews conducted with small-scale farmers, we identified several typical configurations of coopetition, with a focus on the role of dyadic relationships and the actors involved in co-development dynamics. The findings reveal that coopetition serves as a powerful strategic lever to stimulate the growth of microenterprises, relying on support networks and sharing practices. This research thus highlights the importance of collective strategies and relational capital in the success of such initiatives.
