The town, which is home to 5,530 companies, also houses the island’s only industrial port: the Pointe des Galets port. It is one of the only French municipalities to combine the five functions of a ferry terminal, commercial port, naval base, marina and fishing port.
Anchored in its territory and connected to international networks, Omega 1 will further increase Reunion’s openness to the world.
Designed according to an environmental approach, based on the green development of the site to fight against heat islands, Omega 1 will accompany the growth of digital uses of the territory’s actors.
