Launch of Incoplex Pyrénées: A New Era for Mountain Economy in Lourdes

On August 3, 2025, Lourdes welcomed the launch of Incoplex Pyrénées, the first incubator dedicated to enhancing the mountain economy. This initiative, part of the broader Plan Avenir Lourdes, aims to support sustainable economic solutions specifically tailored for mountainous regions. The program is set to assist between five to ten entrepreneurs over a six-month duration, emphasizing the development of innovative and sustainable economic models.

Incoplex Pyrénées, which is spearheaded by Inco, a recognized leader in social and environmental impact, focuses on three strategic priorities. These include promoting responsible outdoor development, evolving mountain tourism to attract visitors year-round, and fostering slow tourism that offers immersive experiences. A significant aspect of the incubator’s mission is to support projects that utilize local supply chains and materials sourced from the Hautes-Pyrénées area, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability.

With this launch, stakeholders hope to create a vibrant ecosystem in Lourdes that not only boosts the local economy but also sets a precedent for responsible tourism and environmental stewardship in the mountains. As the first initiative of its kind, Incoplex Pyrénées represents an exciting opportunity for entrepreneurs aiming to innovate within the unique challenges faced by mountain regions.
