SOME WORDS FROM GDI’S DIRECTOR
GDI is link with local authority, CTG to implement economic and innovation regionals policies; we have a strong link with the University of French Guiana ; with this collaboration we animate an innovation ecosystem to bring closer academic actors (researchers) and then business and economic world on 3 mains topics :
- Sustainable alimentation
- Bioressources
- And uses of spatial data.
Than you know French Guiana is one of the hotspot of biodiversity on the planet. Our mission with the local authority is to build a new economy base on bioeconomy. It is a reason why we are very interested with this cooperation under the Interreg program. We hope it find some methodology and action plan to build a living lab network.
