Abstract: Innovation policies are based on Science and Technology, but also on indirect policies to improve the local socio-economic context, in the context of Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Our article proposes to promote industrial and innovation policies within the framework of regional integration in Senegal. The question raised is whether the context of regionalization of Senegal within the framework of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is favorable to this, as opposed to the protectionist policies marked by Industrialization by Import Substitution (ISI) and practiced for years. In a country where Science and Technology are mainly focused on agricultural research, our proposal, mobilizing secondary data, highlights the various challenges of the Senegalese industrial sector in a context of science and technology policies and growing regionalization.
