What Communauté de communes du Pays de Maîche does

The Communauté de communes du Pays de Maîche (CCPM) is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) serving 42 communes across approximately 14,000 inhabitants in the Doubs department, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It operates as a multi-service local public authority delivering a broad portfolio of statutory intercommunal competencies: drinking water supply (managed under a long-term affermage contract with Véolia Eau covering 28 water resources, 71 reservoirs, and 500+ km of networks), collective and non-collective sanitation (14 wastewater treatment stations with 25,763 EH total capacity), household waste collection and recycling (including a fixed déchèterie, mobile déchèterie, and incentive-based billing via redevance incitative), urban planning via the Geosphere guichet unique, and aquatic/flood management delegated to EPAGE Doubs Dessoubre. Beyond core utilities, CCPM provides mobility services (Allo Kangourou on-demand transport, Cycl'Owdoo e-bike rental, Tac'Owdoo shuttle, Mobigo covoiturage), social and administrative services (Espace France Services hub connecting 13 national partners, Relais Petite Enfance, CIAS), tourism infrastructure (Cristallys aquatic complex under 20-year DSP, La Combe Saint-Pierre leisure station, Office de Tourisme du Pays Horloger), and economic development support (five ZAEs, Aide à l'Immobilier d'Entreprises co-financed 1:10 with Département du Doubs, Territoire d'Industrie Alliances Luxe & Précision Doubs program).

The underlying technology is a web-based service portal at ccpaysmaiche.fr supplemented by specialized platforms (e-reom.net for waste billing, Geosphere for urban planning, Véolia service-client portal for water, Mobigo regional app for carpooling). No proprietary AI, machine-learning models, or differentiated digital IP is disclosed. CCPM is governed by an elected president (Franck Villemain), 10 vice-presidents overseeing functional portfolios, and a conseil communautaire; operational direction is led by a Directeur général des services (David Vermot) and Directeur des services techniques (Julien Klinguer).

The business model is public-sector: primary revenue is local taxation (fiscalité locale) supplemented by usage-based fees (water: 60.95€ HT fixed + 1.61€ HT per m³ in 2024; waste: fixed + variable incentive pricing), grants from the French state, Région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Département du Doubs, and European/regional programs (TIMS, Avenir Montagne Mobilité, Territoire d'Industrie), and partner-managed revenues from delegated services (Cristallys DSP). Go-to-market is direct service delivery to a captive residential and business base, with no commercial distribution channels or external customer acquisition activity.
