Author

  • Abderrahim Merzak Ph.D.

    Dr. Merzak, Founding Chairman of the "Territorium Institute" in Ottawa-Ontario, is a visionary leader and strategic architect in innovation, technology transfer, and research for development (R4D). Transitioning from a research scientist, Dr. Merzak is dedicated to championing the co-creation of territorial socio-technical innovation systems, specifically empowering local communities and authorities to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement's Net-Zero targets.

    His approach, deeply rooted in pragmatism and foresight, has led him to pioneer online platforms that promote social learning and the co-creation of sustainable roadmaps using community scenario planning. Among his flagship creations are gotit.network itself, designed to mobilize global collective intelligence for the achievement of the SDGs in Local Authorities worldwide; geoscenarios.world, a platform for demystifying global events and exploring future scenarios; and sustainopia.world, which champions the profound influence of individual action in shaping a sustainable future. Dr. Merzak fervently believes in harnessing collective intelligence, tacit knowledge, and systems thinking to co-design brighter futures on various scales, from local communities to nations, emphasizing participative democracy, diversity, inclusiveness, equity, and the invaluable contribution of indigenous knowledge.

    His extensive global achievements reinforce this dedication to local empowerment and collective action: catalyzing international partnerships, founding the International e-Gov Forum in Dubai and the International Forum of Local Governments in Morocco, and promoting digital and sustainable projects globally. With managerial experience in a French biotech firm and advisory roles in biotechnology, Dr. Merzak has also orchestrated global B2B events in diverse sectors. Academically, he has served prestigious institutions like Paris-Saclay University and King's College London. A recipient of numerous accolades, Dr. Merzak has contributed extensively to scientific literature and holds a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology of cancer from Paris-Diderot University, alongside other significant academic credentials.
