Our annual forum is organised in partnership with the city of Besançon and Grand Besançon Métropole.
Besançon is the capital of the historic and cultural region of Franche-Comté. It is home to the regional council headquarters and is an important administrative center in the region. Awarded with the European Energy Award Gold (EEA) on several occasions, it is one of the pioneering local authorities in the green transition in France.
Grand Besançon Métropole (GBM) is a French urban community based around the city of Besançon, prefecture of the Doubs county, and seat of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regional council. It aims to become a positive energy territory (TEPOS) by 2050.
