La Réunion to host major professional festivals and salons in 2026

La Réunion is set to host two significant professional events in 2026 aimed at fostering economic connections between local authorities and businesses.

Scheduled for September 2–3, 2026, at the Domaine des Palmiers in Saint-Paul, the first edition of the Festival des CES, COS et Collectivités will focus on human-centric B2B networking. Organized by entrepreneurs Marion Ajaguin and Laura Gallet, the festival aims to bridge the gap between decision-makers (HR, social committees, and local authorities) and local service providers through demonstrations, tastings, and spontaneous exchanges.

Additionally, the TER’ECO salon will take place on October 28–29, 2026, at the Auguste Legros Exhibition and Congress Center in Saint-Denis. Organized by EVENTGO and NORDEV, this event focuses on the development of overseas territories under the theme ‘Oceanic France toward 2050.’ The salon expects over 150 exhibitors and 1,000 decision-makers to discuss sustainable development, territorial planning, innovation, and social cohesion.
