As an extension of our research work in local economics and industrial economics, initiated over 14 years ago, we continue to explore our study carried out in the French context in 2006 in order to refine it, adapt it to the current context and extract more possible results and conclusions. In this perspective, we have highlighted the perpetual dichotomy that exists between geographic proximity and new information and communication technologies. In this sense, the development of NICT never calls into question the necessity of the geographical factor but on the contrary, it proves its necessity during the process of exchange of knowledge especially when it comes to its tacit form which imposes face to face.

Abstract
As an extension of our research work in local economics and industrial economics, initiated over 14 years ago, we continue to explore our study carried out in the French context in 2006 in order to refine it, adapt it to the current context and extract more possible results and conclusions. In this perspective, we have highlighted the perpetual dichotomy that exists between geographic proximity and new information and communication technologies. In this sense, the development of NICT never calls into question the necessity of the geographical factor but on the contrary, it proves its necessity during the process of exchange of knowledge especially when it comes to its tacit form which imposes face to face.
Author Keywords: Geographical proximity, face to face, new information, communication, technologies.
Abstract: (french)
En prolongation de nos travaux de recherches en économie de proximité et économie industrielle, initiés depuis plus de 14 ans, nous continuons à explorer notre étude réalisée dans le contexte français en 2006 afin de l’affiner, l’adapter avec le contexte actuel et en extraire plus de résultats et conclusions possibles. Dans cette perspective, nous avons mis en exergue la dichotomie perpétuelle qui existe entre la proximité géographique et les nouvelles technologies d’information et communication. Dans ce sens, le développement des NTIC ne remet jamais en cause l’indispensabilité du facteur géographique mais au contraire, il prouve sa nécessité au cours du processus d’échange de la connaissance surtout lorsqu’il s’agit de sa forme tacite qui impose le face à face.
Author Keywords: Proximité géographique, relations de face-à- face, NTIC.
