Regional programme Guadeloupe Conseil Régional 2014-2020
Programme description
Main objectives
The ERDF-ESF operational programme for Guadeloupe aims to stimulate economic growth and to help deliver the Europe 2020 goals for smart, sustainable and inclusive development. The OP will help the region to improve growth and jobs by increasing its regional capacity for innovation, its competitiveness in the private sector, the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and by greater social inclusion and regional cohesion. Consequently, over a third of the total budget (40 %) is allocated to research, innovation, the competitiveness of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), ICTs and energy transition; 22 % is set aside for conservation and protection of the environment, climate change adaptation and risk prevention; 11 % is earmarked as compensation for extra costs arising from Guadeloupe's status as an ultra-peripheral region, and nearly 10 % goes towards improving the skills of jobseekers with low levels of qualifications.

The main focus of the programme will be as follows:
- to strengthen Guadeloupe's commitment to research, innovation and business competitiveness to support digital development, which is a key tool for increasing the region's competitiveness
