Abstract: With its Regional Innovation Strategy, the PACA region gave a key role to support for innovation actors. The Regional Innovation Network, called " PACA Innovation ", was created to federate the innovation support structures. The ultimate goal is to enable an applicant to access any relevant resources whatever its entry point into the network. This assumes that the network members, heterogeneous actors unevenly distributed on the regional territory, manage to share a certain density of organized proximity that generates flows of communication and information sharing. Our aim is to situate these actors, geographically and institutionally , so as to analyze the modes, the potential, but also the brakes to their interactions. When geographical proximity combines with an organized proximity, it can strengthen cooperation and collective learning, but conversely it can also generate antagonisms and competition.
