Cutting-edge News: 1 M€ fund-raising for TheraSonic with Gustave Roussy onboard !!!! This fund-raising is led by the European venture studio M2care, created at the initiative of Mérieux Développement, a specialist in healthtech, and associated with the project for a year prior to its creation. Gustave Roussy Transfert, a company dedicated to innovation and technology transfer, and a subsidiary of Gustave Roussy, Europe's leading cancer research center, is also investing in TheraSonic, to provide access to unique clinical expertise and ensure the earliest possible technological transition to the first patients. TheraSonic is a Medtech start-up whose ambition is to transform the treatment of neurological diseases by improving drug delivery to the brain. The startup will initially address brain metastases, which affect more than 30,000 new people every year in France. The treatment of brain cancers represents a market worth almost $4 billion in 2023, and could reach $7 billion by 2033, driven by the rising incidence of cancer and improved treatments for peripheral tumors. To meet this strong medical need, TheraSonic is developing a medical robot that enables the targeted delivery of ultrasound to the brain without surgery or anesthesia, during short therapeutic sessions. Combined with the intravenous injection of microbubbles, these focused ultrasounds induce a transient increase in the permeability of cerebral blood vessels, enabling drugs to reach their targets in the brain. TheraSonic was co-founded by Benoit Larrat and Anthony Novell, who have combined nearly 30 years of research into therapeutic ultrasound at the CEA (Atomic Energy Center) and CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) respectively, and have invested over €3 million in the field since 2010. Their work has resulted in several patents and over 40 international scientific publications. Over the past 3 years, the company's project has benefited from the CEA's Magellan business start-up support program. The founding team is complemented by the M2care venture studio, which provides human support, with the involvement of 6 people and a financial investment of over 900 k€. In autumn 2023, TheraSonic has been selected by the Paris-Saclay Cancer Cluster to support its development. As such, TheraSonic benefits from privileged access to the cancer ecosystem (training courses, network of experts, offices, clinical trials, etc.). Benoit Larrat, President and co-founder of TheraSonic, comments: "This first financing round provides us with the resources we need to rapidly implement the first clinical trial of our technology, with the aim of bringing its benefits to patients as quickly as possible. In this context, the choice of the venture studio model is an appropriate one, as it contributes to the company's development by providing expertise complementary to scientific and medical skills, and enables us to focus our initial recruitment on the technology."

☁️ Arcep has just launched a public consultation on #cloud #regulation, marking a key step towards a framework that would give French companies more freedom to choose their cloud service providers.   ⚖️ This consultation, open until December 16, aligns with the law on securing and regulating cyberspace (SREN) and anticipates upcoming regulations like the European Data Act. This initiative is a positive development for the cloud sector, aiming to minimize the costs associated with data transfer and switching providers, and to clarify standards for interoperability and portability.   💡 Lowering data transfer costs and reducing barriers for switching providers is crucial for fostering competition and innovation in the cloud space. These costs can often discourage businesses from optimizing their infrastructure, locking them into specific vendors. By addressing these challenges, this consultation paves the way for greater flexibility, enabling companies to adopt multi-cloud strategies.   ⚙️ Strengthening interoperability and data portability is also key for creating a more open and dynamic cloud ecosystem. Improved compatibility between different systems will allow businesses to seamlessly integrate services from multiple providers. This means they can benefit from cutting edge technologies while maintaining their flexibility, without having to worry about complex technical barriers.   🚀 I believe this push for a new regulatory framework is a step in the right direction for the cloud sector, promoting a more transparent and user-centric market, encouraging innovation while ensuring fair competition.   📝 The Arcep public consultation is available here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8kMrk-H Julien Villeret - Louise Vilain - Catherine Jouny - Mathieu Bertrane - Tiphaine David (Croville) - Charlotte Barbier - Anthony M. - Luna Valy Estay - Laurent BERNOU-MAZARS - Christophe Rodrigues - Gilles Deleuze - Joachim Simon - David ROUXEL

Tiukka kommentti Vincent Donnenilta, joka on tehnyt ansiokkaan raportin kriittisten mineraalien varmuusvarastoinnista ja kehittänyt uusia instrumentteja kriittisten metallien kauppaan. Hitaasti taitavat nämä asiat edistyä Ranskassakin: "The Chinese are stockpiling raw materials to prepare for war. Nothing new... except for the change of tempo and scale. In France, I have been fighting for 5 years for the urgent replenishment of strategic stocks of critical metals." #geopolitics #criticalmetals #stockpiling #kiina

Check out our new portable intervention case, hardware preloaded with our powerful analytics software. This mobile, autonomous, and ready-to-go deployment option is sometimes the perfect match for clients with strict security, containment, and confidentiality concerns. It's crucial when systems are down or infected, when internet access is unavailable, or when you urgently need a rapid, powerful analytics solution for emergency or incident responses. On a personal note, this feels like a story coming full circle—not just for us at Malizen, but for the industry itself. Did you know… "Malizen" means "suitcase" in Breton (the regional language here), and that wasn't a coincidence. When we started, we were tackling the challenges of highly unique situations—like deploying incident response units on ships or submarines. We were in fact quite public about these intervention units in the early days, and it really felt like we were filling an important niche. But we quickly changed our focus as the world changed around us. The market was pulling us in a different direction: towards a focus on software, flexibility, and scale. We adapted, focusing on our analytics software, and we even tried to downplay our early hardware efforts to avoid the misconception that we were "just" a hardware provider. Yet here we are, years later, with the industry evolving once again. More and more, we have been asked for special, isolated, sovereign solutions—the very thing we originally imagined in those intervention units. So we took what was once just a cool demonstrator, technology for unique situations, and developed it into a fully-fledged product. It's a bit surreal, honestly—seeing how things that were once on the fringe have sometimes become essential. I'm thrilled to see this come to life and to be able to meet our clients' needs in ways we first envisioned at the very beginning. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more! #Malizen #Analytics #Cybersecurity #Innovation #IronMan

Excited to dive into the fascinating topic of Digital Twins in Healthcare with a panel of experts and Sébastien Giraudier, PhD. As the saying goes: "Put three economists in a room, and you'll get four opinions." I hope we can bring clarity and converge on a singular understanding of what a Digital Twin truly is—not just through its various use cases, but by focusing on its core digital essence. Looking forward to the discussion and the insights to come and to possibly meet you there. Book your agenda :)

Un projet ERP qui finit par ruiner l'un des plus grands conseils municipaux d'Europe 👇 https://lnkd.in/d2dYRxuH Many leaders pride themselves on setting the high-level direction and staying out of the details. But big picture, hands off leadership isn’t likely to work in a change situation, because the hardest part of change—the paralyzing part—is in the details. Any successful change requires a translation of ambiguous goals into concrete behaviors. To make a switch, you need to script the critical moves.
