Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

What is the problem/issue being addressed?

The period of 2020-2021 was a challenging one for the ultramarine European territories of Martinique and Guadeloupe Islands, who already face common challenges to increase their attractiveness and competitiveness, such as remoteness, insularity, or the strong impact of climate change on the islands due to tropical climate.

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, most of the activities foreseen in the workpackage has been either delayed, cancelled or switch to virtual workshop and training, webinaires or virtual business events

Why is it important for society?

However, the consortium still focus on innovation to transform these challenges into opportunities. Indeed, the central position of Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbean islands could help develop business and tourism. The climate of these islands is also the source of their unique biodiversity which could support innovations in environment protection or agro, bio, pharma and cosmetic industries.

What are the overall objectives?

Thus, the objective is to detect local SMEs with high innovation potential and to support their development to help them transform the common challenges of these islands into opportunities.

To do so, the CCI Martinique, Technopôle Martinique and CCI Iles de Guadeloupe (Pôle Europe Entreprise Innovation Antilles - PEEI consortium) have developed activities together in the framework of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN).
Their global objective is to communicate about the funding programs of the EU and to dynamize the local business ecosystem.

Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, it is very uncertain to predict the impact of the actions carried out, especially with travels restrictions.
Our clients target are mainly focusing on financing and to maintain the activity.

However, the consortium will keep strengthening the positive movement initiated and will address in the future higher added value issues regarding innovation and internationalization
