Résumé anglais The Swiss Jura region provides an interesting illustration of the emergence of a new type of spatial production system linked to the appearance of new technologies. This region has recently experienced a transformation of the traditional productive system, based on micro- mechanics and watchmaking, in favour of a system centred on micro-techniques. Such change involves the combination of traditional technologies (micro-mechanics and electro- mechanics) and new technologies (micro-electronics, new materials, optics). This evolution results from the need to adapt to a changing global technological and economic environment. It depends on the existence of specific infrastructures (research and training centres) as well as the development of networks bringing together the different agents of the productive system so as to dispose of the full range of technical and scientific skills essential for the process of innovation. In this context the study shows the importance of the milieu in the emergence of a technological district.
