Abstract
The synergy of actors has become a necessity facing the flow changes and current circumstances varied between the desire of sharing between the global and the local concerning the responsibilities and commitment to meet the needs of heterogeneous territories. The limits of a single actor in front of the scale and the diversity of sectors in a changing situation require the organization of the actors, as a form of governance, in partnerships around a development project of their territory. It underlines the collective capacity of organization and territorial actions as a collective intelligence that would strengthen the cognitive dimension and would prove itself convenient to innovation. The projects of solidarity economy are a concrete proof on the ground of this territorial intelligence. Social economy projects are a concrete evidence on the ground that territorial intelligence starting from the intervention of a required number of more divergent actors in their sector. The example of the analysis of the project CLUSTER Association of local products in the Moroccan southern Sahara proves the requirement of collective intelligence in social economy projects.
