Agglomération Provence Verte

What Agglomération Provence Verte does

Agglomération Provence Verte (legal name: Communauté d'Agglomération de la Provence Verte; DBAs: Provence Verte, CAPV) is a French public intercommunal authority established under French territorial law as an Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Brignoles, Var department. It is governed by elected officials from its 28 member communes and funded via French local taxation and state transfers rather than commercial revenue.

The entity operates a multi-service portfolio covering public transportation (Mouv'enbus bus network with routes 101, 110, 111), waste management, non-collective sanitation (SPANC — operated from Saint-Maximin and Garéoult antenna offices), water cycle management, digital infrastructure (fiber rollout targeting ~55,000 connectable outlets through the SUD THD partnership and Orange Territoires Connectés), cultural services (Musée des Gueules Rouges, Musée des Comtes de Provence, Centre d'Art Contemporain de Châteauvert, Micro-Folie), a unified network of 14 médiathèques pooling ~150,000 documents, an intercommunal arts school (EIMAD), early childhood services (Maison des Petits), and employment support (Campus Connecté distance higher education, salons with France Travail). France Services hubs provide centralized administrative assistance.

Its business model is non-commercial: services are tax-funded or free at point of use, with delivery through three physical offices (Brignoles HQ, Saint-Maximin, Garéoult), the bus network, the mediathèques, museums, and digital channels. GTM is relationship-based rather than sales-driven, targeting citizens, local SMBs, job seekers, students, and tourists across the 28 communes in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software products, venture funding, or private ownership are disclosed — it is a governmental territorial authority rather than an investment-grade commercial company.
