• To develop the use of facilities provided by the development of the new technologies: to communicate (wide band Internet), to work (efficient laptops), to cooperate (platform or cooperative work)

This is the reason why the development of a National Competitive Intelligence program is important. It will provide the necessary background of knowledge out of which various initiatives will be developed. Most regions have natural resources and industries related to them. Sometimes the local education and research institutions feel concerned. This situation should change. Education, research centers should develop close links between industries and policy makers to be involved in the creation of added value product from these resources. In the same time, local information centers should be created to reinforce the actions of the institution partners of the regional poles of competitiveness. All the comparisons, analysis, results already obtained from worldwide experiments emphasise the role of Competitive Intelligence as a catalyst to move mental model and socialized those modern ideas upon which the development could be achieved. 

Conclusion

We are in a period of change and most people look to the future not really with hope but with a fear to move ahead. The complexity of our time is often a brake to innovation and to set up the right background for a sustainable development. Often, the political decision makers try to explain the future with the knowledge of the past, this must change. Internet, co-opetiton, facilities to travel, birth of new economic change the rules. The question is to know how the decision makers will understand these changes and will promote in their country the conditions to move ahead. Competitive Intelligence because its links with science, technology, innovation, economy, new social models and social cohesion can be considered today as one of the best tool to catalyze the national energy and to promote a new way to consider the basic aspect of national and regional development
