Alpine Diamond

Home  〉 Diamant Alpin

The Alpine Diamond is a special FEDRE program for the Alpine region encompassing the Geneva-Lyon-Turin triangle (the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland, the Alpine departments and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, as well as the Piedmont and Aosta Valley regions), which we would like to expand. A dedicated website has been created for this initiative: diamant-alpin.org.

With the Alps and their highest peak in Europe before us, we stand before a symbol of nature, in a region that is unique in the world—despite the melting of glaciers caused by global warming. Its potential for sustainable development is considerable. Because of our altitude, we are more affected by global warming than other regions; we should therefore be able to raise public awareness more effectively and take steps to slow it down.

Energy

FEDRE is stepping up its commitment to energy efficiency. It is working to reduce energy consumption through high-performance systems and the self-sufficiency of new net-zero energy buildings.

FEDRE collaborates with the leading production, distribution, and maintenance companies in the "Alpine Diamond" region within the energy sector.

Wood industry

We are interested in the entire wood industry, from forests—with their environmental and protective benefits—to a wide variety of construction and manufacturing applications.

Forests, which often straddle national borders, are generally underutilized for primarily economic reasons, even as we import timber from distant sources. How can we make their use more attractive?

Innovation

We stand alongside long-standing innovation platform partners such as MIND, a partner of CERN and the CEA, who are pooling their resources for innovation-through-use projects, particularly in the fields of healthcare, mobility, and energy. The goal is to rethink applications and adopt a new approach to innovation.
