Economic Intelligence is a French conception of organisational sustenance by an improvement of information management. At the end of 1990, this consideration emerged from the concepts of Competitive Intelligence, Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management, notably, being supported by French government. One of these applications is the Regional Economic Intelligence initiatives. The most prominent of these projects is the cluster of competitiveness call. But, it is not the only proposition, many other enterprise clusters initiatives or the Regional Economic Intelligence Devices (REID). Then, in front of this panel of different Territorial Economic Intelligence initiatives, we decided to propose a tool to help any decision-maker develop a Territorial Economic Intelligence Device. This might help shape the overview of some particular REID and other similar devices and it is associated with a tool to define a composite picture of the project of REID. These composite pictures are realized on the basis of information visualization technique of Chernoff faces. In this sense we have developed a methodology to identify the characteristics of a typical REID in terms of Economic Intelligence actions and other actions connected. We have associated these characteristics with quantification by parameters and these parameters were linked with a particular feature of Chernoff face.
