Disputes between the chambers of commerce and industry (CCIs) and the business associations relate primarily to the chambers’ monopoly in representing economic interests. The employers’ unions such as Medef or the CGPME tend to be fragmented by branch, and the regional organisation carries little weight in comparison to the sector organisations. While some put the emphasis on the territory’s competitiveness, others fear that globalisation will bring with it social inequalities and regional disparities, placing the objectives of cohesion at the centre of their concerns. In this context, to move forward in evaluating the region’s potentials, defining, financing and implementing a green growth strategy will require prior consensus on a shared vision of the future of the capital region.
