Core offering

Les Voies is a progressive citizen association that produces policy research, reports, op-eds, interviews, and newsletters analyzing European best practices to propose progressive reforms for France. It operates a free-access publications platform and convenes in-person "Café des Territoires" citizen forums across French cities to co-construct policy proposals grounded in local realities.

Product overview

Les Voies is a progressive citizen movement founded in spring 2024, operating as a policy research and publication organization rather than a traditional technology company. Its core offering consists of a publications platform featuring reports, op-eds, interviews, and newsletters analyzing European best practices and proposing progressive reforms for France. The platform is organized into thematic categories including Rapports et Notes de Réflexion (policy papers), Tribunes (op-eds), Interviews (expert interviews), Analyses d'actualité (current affairs), and Newsletters (twice-monthly political briefings). The organization also convenes Café des Territoires (territorial forums) for citizen engagement and has developed specific policy proposals such as the Pacte Premier et Dernier Emploi (employment subsidy program) and the Seuil de Transmission à Vie (inheritance tax reform concept). The publications portfolio covers priority themes including youth and senior employment, inheritance and wealth transmission, healthcare access, democracy strengthening, climate action, and European affairs.

Broad incumbents

• Institut Montaigne: Institut Montaigne is one of France's largest independent think tanks producing policy research across economic, social, and international topics. While ideologically broader than Les Voies, it competes for the same media attention, policy-maker access, and donor pool in the French think tank landscape.
• Fondation pour l'innovation politique (Fondapol): Fondapol is a French think tank producing policy research and analyses on a wide range of social, economic, and digital topics. It competes with Les Voies for media visibility and policy-maker attention within the French think tank ecosystem.
• FEPS (Foundation for European Progressive Studies): FEPS is the progressive political foundation at the European level linked to social democratic parties, producing research and convening progressive actors across the EU. It represents the pan-European institutional counterpart that Les Voies aspires to influence through its France-focused work.

Direct peers

• Terra Nova: Terra Nova is a leading French progressive think tank producing policy reports and proposals on social, economic, and environmental issues. It is the most direct comparator to Les Voies in terms of progressive policy orientation, research-driven output, and engagement with French political parties.
• Fondation Jean-Jaurès: Fondation Jean-Jaurès is the historical think tank of the French Socialist Party, producing policy research, analyses, and publications on progressive issues. It shares Les Voies' focus on feeding the French progressive ecosystem with policy innovation and intellectual framework.
• Fondation Robert Schuman: Fondation Robert Schuman focuses on European affairs and produces analyses, studies, and policy proposals relevant to EU member states. Its Europe-focused comparative policy research parallels Les Voies' 'Most Favored Nation' approach of identifying best practices across EU countries.
• Confrontations Europe: Confrontations Europe is a French think tank focused on European integration, social Europe, and progressive policy. It shares Les Voies' focus on bridging French policy debate with EU-level policy innovation.
• Notre Europe / Institut Jacques Delors: Institut Jacques Delors (formerly Notre Europe) is a leading European think tank producing research on EU integration, social policy, and economic governance. It is highly comparable to Les Voies in its emphasis on extending progressive national policies to the European level.

Emerging players

• European Policy Centre (EPC): EPC is a Brussels-based think tank producing EU policy analysis across economic, social, and integration topics. It serves as a possible model for Les Voies' ambition to feed EU-level progressive policy from France-based research.

Regional players

• Policy Network: Policy Network is a UK-based international progressive think tank producing comparative research on social democracy and European policy. While UK-headquartered, its work is relevant to Les Voies' methodology of comparing and adapting progressive policies across European countries.
