From 6 to 10 December 2021 was held the first multi-actor exchange and capitalisation meeting organised by the Pépinières Urbaines network.
The week was an opportunity to consolidate the network dynamic and deepen exchanges around current and future incubators, to produce shared knowledge and lessons.
