Présentation

The ambition of the Integrated Innovation Hub of Mayotte (PI²M) is to actively support innovation and sustainable development in the Mahoran territory through two concrete action axes and the scientific and technical support of a broad network.

Its objective is to activate synergies and stimulate innovation inherent to the Mahoran territory by fostering a network bringing together local actors of innovation and development, within which PI²M supports sustainable development and scientific research themes.

Two project dynamics highlight local, untapped opportunities while preserving the precious ecosystem that characterizes Mayotte:

  • The “Green” aspect, economically and sustainably enhancing the terrestrial wealth of Mayotte, with a particular focus on PAPAM (Aromatic, Perfumed, and Medicinal Plants);
  • The “Blue” aspect, economically and sustainably enhancing the marine environment while maintaining and improving the health of its ecosystems.

The PI²M operates within an ecosystem that brings together the public, private and research sectors. Initially working closely with a majority of local institutions such as the Department of Mayotte, the ADIM, the Rectorat, the Prefecture and even Europe in Mayotte, the PI²M also works with players in the private sector in order to offer them concrete development opportunities (financial monitoring, support in project management, networking, etc.).

The PI²M works closely with the French and international research sector through its parent structures, CRIOBE and the University of Perpignan, but also through partnerships with other laboratories. Now labelled by Cosmetic Valley, PI²M works with Pharmadev (IRD), MNHN, CNRS and many others.
