Mauritius Island – An Emerging Centre for R&D in Biotechnology and the Life Sciences
CIDP (Centre International de Développement Pharmaceutique)
Mauritius, the tropical island situated in the Indian Ocean and known
worldwide for its beautiful beaches, is also internationally recognised
for its rule of law, and political and social stability. Over the past
few years, the economy has been successfully transitioned from a
monocrop to a diversified innovation-driven and knowledge-based economy,
resting on agribusiness, export-oriented manufacturing, tourism,
financial services, property development and real estate, ICT-BPO, the
seafood industry, a free port, logistics and a nascent ocean economy.
Emerging sectors such as healthcare and life sciences are presenting
some niche areas for the taking, and the enabling environment is being
put in place to make it happen - especially in the light of sustained
growth within pharmaceutical, medical device, and clinical research.
Important
international players are already in operation locally as the country
has established the appropriate legal and regulatory frameworks based on
international norms, for the development of a strong biomedical
research sector.
