The 2024–2026 action plan “Support for Innovation Support Structures” under Citeb Component 1 is funded by the European Union as part of the Réunion ERDF-ESF+ program, for which the Réunion Region serves as the managing authority. Europe is committed to Réunion through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
Through this “Innovation Hub” initiative (Phase 3), Citeb is making an investment tailored to the needs of expanding service offerings in the marine environment sector.

Citeb’s entire 2024–2026 action plan, “Support for Innovation Support Structures” (EFRO Measure 1.1.11), is structured around activities designed for and aimed at public, private, scientific, institutional, and economic partners, and focuses on three main themes:

  • Aquaculture and biotechnology,
  • Fishing,
  • Environment.

These translate into four distinct actions, organized into the following components:

  • Action 1: Activities carried out for the benefit of Citeb users in the field of the marine environment (COMPONENT 1)
  • Action 2: Activities carried out as the implementing body for the regional smart specialization strategy in the field of the marine environment (COMPONENT 2)
  • Action 3: Investment tailored to the needs of expanding service offerings in the environmental sector (COMPONENT 3)
  • Action 4: Activities carried out for the benefit of Citeb users and as a key player in the regional strategy for smart specialization in the fields of aquaculture, related biotechnologies, and fisheries (COMPONENT 4)

Component 3: Investment Support

In connection with the activities outlined in Section 1, CITEB has developed an investment plan to upgrade its water analysis laboratory into an analytical platform equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The new equipment is intended to enhance CITEB’s service offerings by expanding the range of parameters analyzed, improving the sensitivity and accuracy of analyses, and reducing analysis time through automation or the use of continuous monitoring systems.
