Concretely, start-ups will be selected and financially supported. They will also benefit from the expertise of each of the shareholders, who will themselves benefit from the pooled innovations.
A platform should be launched in June, while a dedicated physical location will be inaugurated in December in Paris. The structure will operate in consultation with the PariSantéCampus, requested by the President of the Republic.

“Thanks to the creation of a multidisciplinary ecosystem bringing together large European groups and start-ups, we are giving ourselves the means to accelerate the development of solutions for the benefit of patients and caregivers”, says Stéphane Richard, Chairman and CEO of Orange in the press release.
