POLE TERRITORIAL DE L'ALBIGEOIS ET DES BASTIDES

What POLE TERRITORIAL DE L'ALBIGEOIS ET DES BASTIDES does

The Pôle Territorial de l'Albigeois et des Bastides (PETR) is a French public intercommunal coordination body established in 2015 and headquartered in Albi, Tarn department, Occitanie. It operates as a Pôle d'Équilibre Territorial et Rural serving five Communautés de Communes (Carmausin-Ségala, Centre-Tarn, Monts d'Alban et Villefranchois, VAL 81, Cordais-Causse) and is governed by locally elected officials under the authority of those member municipalities. Its statutory role is to coordinate sustainable territorial development across climate-energy transition, local food systems, spatial planning, and rural economic development, in coordination with the French State, Région Occitanie, and Département du Tarn.

Its portfolio is organised under three pillars: 'Terre de vie' (tourism, culture, heritage, Manger Local), 'Territoire à Énergie Positive' (Plan Climat-Air-Énergie Territorial, Appui Bâtiments Publics, Profil Climat-Énergie), and 'Terre de projets' (Contrat Territorial Occitanie 2022-2028, CRTE, LEADER 2023-2027, PAT). Core programmes include the PCAET, the Projet Alimentaire Territorial, Ma Cuisine Engagée (collective catering support launched January 2025), Graines d'avenir en Albigeois Bastides (agricultural land strategy awarded 2025), Bouge Ton Climat (citizen network), and the Coup de Pousse micro-fund. The organisation's main technology asset is an interactive map (Carte interactive des actions du PTAB) that consolidates visibility on territorial projects; it also publishes a Profil Climat-Énergie diagnostic dashboard.

The PETR has 8 employees and no commercial revenue model. It does not sell products or services; instead, its activities are funded through public contracts with the State, Région Occitanie, and Département du Tarn, supplemented by European LEADER funds (GAL Albigeois et Bastides 2023-2027) and the Région Occitanie 'Coopération territoriale' grant programme. Go-to-market is institutional, not commercial: delivery occurs through direct engagement with the five EPCI and downstream partners (Adefpat, ADEME, SDET, GAB du Tarn, Chambre d'agriculture du Tarn, CPIE Pays Tarnais, SEM Carmausine, citizen energy cooperatives). Customer segments are correspondingly public or quasi-public: the five EPCI (primary), local farmers and agricultural operations, collective catering establishments, and citizen/community groups engaged through Bouge Ton Climat.

It delivers and coordinates programmes in territorial planning (SCoT), climate-air-energy planning (PCAET), agricultural and food policy (PAT), EU LEADER funding management, and citizen engagement (Bouge Ton Climat, Coup de Pousse fund), acting as the single statutory interface between its member communes and the French State, Région Occitanie, Département du Tarn, and the European Union.

Product overview

POLE TERRITORIAL DE L'ALBIGEOIS ET DES BASTIDES is a public territorial development organization serving five communities of communes in the Tarn department, France. Rather than a unified software product, it operates a portfolio of complementary programs organized around three strategic pillars: 'Terre de vie' (living territory - tourism, culture, heritage, local food), 'Territoire à Energie Positive' (positive energy territory - climate action, building energy support, renewable energy), and 'Terre de projets' (project territory - territorial contracts, LEADER EU program, food projects). Key product lines include the Plan Climat-Air-Energie Territorial (PCAET) providing climate-energy diagnostics and planning; the Projet Alimentaire Territorial (PAT) with services like Manger Local, Ma Cuisine Engagée collective catering support, and Graines d'avenir agricultural land accessibility; the Appui Bâtiments Publics technical building energy service; and citizen engagement platforms including Bouge Ton Climat network and Coup de Pousse micro-fund. The organization also manages major contractual frameworks (Contrat Territorial Occitanie, CRTE) and EU LEADER funding programs for rural development.
