Among the presentation the international aspects of Competitive Intellgence were preseted by the Professors Pierre Fayard and Henri Dou. Professor Fayard insisted of the possibility offered by the various French researchers which in various contries contributed to create a network with the French institutions. He gave the example of Chile and also to other different South American countries. The Professor Dou presented various aspects of his feeling when he travelled overseas (Intervention): the ultra-development of Asia, the development of Competitive Intelligence in Brazil which as an example the database Lattes (free access database of the Brazilian researcher competencies), the very short time from decision to action and for China the tremendous effort done in information science and information analysis with the CNKI portal and the SIPO portal to access the Chinese Patents. His global view is that in many countries people do not speak so much of Competitive Intelligence but practiced it and applied it everydays.
