In a particularly singular context (confinement, recovery plan, energy crisis in 2022 but also recovery plan, France 2030, and major repositioning of European and French energy policies), he has been able to support the cluster with humility and a benevolent requirement to enable it to fully play its role as a catalyst within an ecosystem that has consolidated and diversified over the period in line with the redefinition of issues and priorities.
