La Réunion joins the Enterprise Europe Network
Our consortium joins the Enterprise Europe Network: official launch scheduled for July
We are pleased to announce that our consortium – made up of La Réunion Développement, La Réunion Innovation, and the Réunion Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI Réunion) – has been selected as part of the new call for proposals under the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) for the 2025–2028 period. This accomplishment reflects our shared commitment to supporting business development, innovation, and international growth for companies in La Reunion.
What is the Enterprise Europe Network?
The Enterprise Europe Network is the world’s largest support network for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), present in over 60 countries. It helps companies to:
Expand into new international markets,
Identify suitable funding and investment opportunities,
Foster innovative projects and guide ecological and digital transitions,
Connect with commercial, technological, and financial partners worldwide.
The role of our consortium
La Réunion Développement: Coordinates the project and guides businesses toward appropriate funding sources and support services.
La Réunion Innovation: Provides expertise on innovative project management, technological solutions, and R&D support for companies.
CCI Réunion: Specializes in internationalization, helping companies navigate export procedures, establish commercial connections, and comply with regulations.
Launching in July
Our services, drawing on best practices from the Enterprise Europe Network, will officially launch in July. In the meantime, we are putting the final touches on our tools and partnerships to offer high-value support, carefully tailored to the economic realities of Reunion Island.
What’s in it for you?
Personalized guidance: A tailor-made assessment to pinpoint your needs and devise an action plan (innovation, financing, export, etc.).
International networking: Access to a wide network of contacts, business opportunities, and potential partners across Europe and beyond.
Specialized expertise: Technical assistance for innovation, digital and ecological transitions, and compliance with European regulations.
Monitoring & training: Regular updates on EU news (new programs, standards, funding opportunities) and workshops to help you strengthen your skills.
