Bernard Thumerel

Managing Director and Project Manager at E2L, Design Thinking, Strategy
I have been with E2L for over 13 years, where our team has developed an open innovation model focused on supporting companies in the creation of new services and in connecting technological research with societal needs. Our work addresses major challenges such as climate change and the energy transition, using a participatory approach that places users at the heart of the design process.  My professional experience reflects a strong commitment to public policy innovation and public service design, strengthened through successful collaborations with organisations such as PUCA, Mines and INRAE. With extensive expertise in territorial development strategies and Living Labs, I work to build synergies between economic and societal innovation, contributing to the positive transformation of our environment and society.
