Who are 'nous', and what is their relationship to this 'maître d'œuvre' that they are tryng to 'faire émerger'? Is it in fact referring to themselves? or are they in some way promoting some other company? It's really vital here to give us the fullest possible wider context, as the translation is likely to be very far from literal here.
