Lafargue (2008) explains there are different advantages and functions of the free port for the four categories of actors mentioned: State, Regulator, Developer and Users.
In order to respect this principle, we interviewed in a very open manner three categories of actors: specialized researchers, privileged witnesses and actors who are the new promoters of the companies concerned by the study (Quivy and Van Campenhoudt, 2006: 59).

Despite the low number of users involved in the test, the sample was representative of all the different categories of actors involved in the care and management of the patient.
With regard to external funders, recalling 'non-traditional' financing sources, addressed to innovative projects, four categories of actors were selected: business angels, public funders, venture capitalists, and banks (Table 13).
The Internet is exploited for wildlife trafficking by three main categories of actors: merchants that are involved in legal wildlife trade, full-timers for whom wildlife trafficking is the main source of income, and people involved in "extemporaneous" criminal activities (to use the word of one of the interviewees).
How these two categories of actors operate in their respective spheres, economic and financial, and how they explicitly deal with entrepreneurial firms therefore has to be addressed, taking here a network perspective (Figure 2). Figure 2 Relations between small innovative companies (SI) and their partners.
Individual interviews were carried out with different categories of actors and stakeholders in the district.
Results having to do with other categories of actors are presented elsewhere [ 6].
