The association

For the harmonious development of regions

Regain works for the balanced development of regions.

Our purpose: to unite a diverse community of stakeholders — elected officials, businesses, researchers and citizens — who share their knowledge to invent models that are more balanced and more respectful of the environment, powered by artificial intelligence and new technologies.

Regain facilitates innovative projects for the adaptation of public services and the preservation of heritage, both environmental and cultural, all over the world.

As a public-interest non-profit, Regain is funded by patrons, private companies and public funds.

Why Regain?

A new genesis, the rebirth of a human community, a new dawn

In his novel Regain (published in English as Second Harvest), Jean Giono tells the story of the rebirth of the lost hamlet of Aubignane. A love story attuned to the rhythms of the world, beyond the limits of any realist psychology or particular geography. A vision of the human condition with the power of myth.
