The central theme of the 11th Edition of the World Intellectual Capital (IC) Conference is “Innovative Ecosystems, Joint Intangibles and Territories”. The selection of this topic highlights the importance of meso frameworks and concepts in analyzing and possibly designing adapted decision processes and outcomes, whether they are public or private. Research – and actions- on intangibles (human capital, knowledge assets, brands, trust, relational capital…) has mainly focused on firms and inter-firm interactions, regional and territorial and more generally ecosystems aspects being considered and only in few cases as elements of context. But the territorial dimension of socioeconomic performance re-emerged recently as a major issue for research and action, especially due to the intangibility dimension (Clusters, Smart cities, smart regions, …). The emergence of intangibles as key resources, but also as strong part of value creation ecosystems challenges the modalities of developing economic activities. Moreover, the ubiquity of digitality questions the spatio-temporal conditions of production. The question of territorial intangible assets is now on the agenda of policy makers, especially with regards to their conditions of creation, their fixity versus mobility and their polarisation.
