Encourage research and innovation
Research, innovation and technological development are strategic orientations of the Martinique Community.
To support this ambition, the 2007-2013 Operational Program encouraged innovation and research by including the following three measures:
- Development of strategic activity centers
- Promote innovation and competitiveness of businesses and support structures
- Collective support measures
The Martinique Regional Innovation Strategy
Faced with the challenges of tomorrow, the Community has made the bet of opting for the path of innovation, among the development avenues available to it.
A real Innovation Strategy (SRI), accompanied by an action plan, has been developed. It responds to a strong partnership desire from local authorities, the State and CACEM, to provide Martinique with a concerted policy for innovation.
The 5 challenges of innovation in Martinique:
- Develop a culture of innovation
- Promote innovation approaches as factors of competitiveness
- Develop social innovation to face the challenges brought about by social changes
- Continue building the innovation ecosystem
- Implement operational governance
BPI France
Bpifrance is a public investment bank, a French business financing and development organization.
It brings together Oséo, CDC Entreprises, FSI and FSI Régions. It is particularly responsible for supporting small and medium-sized businesses, mid-sized businesses and innovative businesses2 in support of state and regional public policies3.

Its resources come mainly from (private) financial markets; its capital is held by the Caisse des Dépôts and the State, as well as members.
BPI France accompanies and supports innovative projects to strengthen their investment capacities throughout their life cycle. https://www.bpifrance.fr/

The CBS2 doctoral school (Chemical and Biological Sciences for Health) trains doctors in all areas of Biology-Health, from the chemistry of medicine to the clinic, from genes to behavior. Learn more
CIRAD
CIRAD is the French organization for agricultural research and international cooperation for the sustainable development of tropical and Mediterranean regions. It is a French research center which responds, with the countries of the South, to the international challenges of agriculture and development. CIRAD is an Epic placed under the dual supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
Its activities relate to life sciences, social sciences and engineering sciences applied to agriculture, food, the environment and territorial management. It works around major themes such as food security, climate change, natural resource management, reduction of inequalities and the fight against poverty.
CIRAD has a priority objective: to build sustainable agriculture, adapted to climate change, capable of feeding 10 billion human beings in 2050, while preserving the environment.
He considers that to develop in the long term and develop appropriate public policies, a society must participate in the production of the knowledge it needs. This development through research is based on the capacity of countries to equip themselves with an appropriate higher education and research system, supported by public authorities, but with real autonomy of action.
From local to global, through its sustainable partnerships, it contributes to the development of agriculture serving everyone, and particularly small farmers, who constitute the vast majority of producers. It thus responds to the global challenges of food security and climate change, but also the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change.
ANRT
Created in 1953, the ANRT is a historic player in research and innovation. A private association governed by the law of July 1, 1901, it acts on behalf of its members. Its mission is to provide them with all the collective means to help them in their research and innovation activities and to represent them to public authorities and qualified French or international organizations.
The ambition of the ANRT is obviously to capitalize on its history, on the relationship of trust it maintains with its members, and on the attention paid to it by public authorities. Its major asset lies in its ability to bring together public and private actors from all sectors of activity and all scientific disciplines.
The ANRT builds collective intelligence for the benefit of its members but also to jointly influence the organization of research and Innovation in France and Europe.
Unique in Europe, it contributes to France's competitiveness through its commitment to:
- Helping businesses in all sectors access research and innovation
- Represent, alongside other actors, Research and Innovation to public authorities
- Build collective intelligence beneficial to each of its members
- Create partnerships
- Deploy the Cifre system which brings together more than 4,000 active partnerships signed with companies of all sizes and from all sectors of activity. Under the Cifre system, ANRT acts by delegation from MESRI
Since 1981, the Cifre system - Industrial Conventions for Training through Research - has subsidized any company under French law which hires a doctoral student to place them at the heart of a research collaboration with a public laboratory. The work must prepare for the defense of a thesis. The Cifre are fully funded by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, which has entrusted their implementation to the ANRT.
