English term or phrase: Bellwether
Hi all,

I am struggling a bit with the following word in this sentence "He is Coming to Stockholm to Give a talk on his new Bellwether for Innovation, Food and art".

I have the idée of "projet phare" but I am not really happy with my rendition !?!

Thanks for your time and support

Best,
Guillaume

bellwether
grand projet


Explanation:
Bellwether désigne en effet un projet pilote, pionnier, mais je crois que ça ne s'applique pas très bien au contexte. Aussi, il peut y avoir redondance avec "innovation" si on choisit un terme qui signifie "d'avant-garde".

Votre "projet phare" peut également faire l'affaire.

bellwether
avant-gardiste


Explanation:
Explication :
Qui est en avant, qui précède en ouvrant et établit de nouvelles normes ou tendances.
C'est le terme le plus proche, selon moi, du sens de ''bellwether''.

Il ne s'agit pas d'un projet pilote, car il ne s'agit pas d'un essai.
