BioSourcing is developing a New Generation of Biotherapeutics, in particular Monoclonal Antibodies for Global Unmet Medical Needs : Available, Affordable, Sustainable. BioSourcing changes the design paradigm of these new biotherapeutics thanks to the mastery of several breakthrough technologies including genome editing (CRISPR). The BioSourcing disruptive approach leads to a drastic reduction in capital requirements and production costs, especially for large volumes, as well as an improvement in the quality/efficiency of biopharmaceuticals through better glycosylation. BioSourcing strongly contributes to sustainable development, in particular in drasticly reducing the carbon footprint. BioSourcing is a fully operational biotechnology company, based in Liège, Belgium. Its team is made up of the best scientists, international experts in their field and has developed strategic partnerships with leaders in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

Brink Therapeutics is developing next-generation recombinases — ultra-precise and efficient enzymes that surpass CRISPR-Cas9. We aim to revolutionize Cell and Gene therapies, enabling large-scale production to treat cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases.

Cellectis is a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. Pioneers and innovators in our field, our mission is to develop innovative treatments for patients with unmet medical needs. With 25 years of expertise, we have the best-in-class gene editing platform focusing on immuno-oncology, and gene therapy. Through our efficient and precise TALEN® technology, we create allogeneic CAR-T cells capable of recognizing and combating cancer cells. Today, our three clinical programs target patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We are fully integrated and a leader in end-to-end gene editing, allogeneic CAR T-cell companies. With our in-house manufacturing, we control our gene and cell therapy process from start to finish with starting materials produced in Paris (France) and CAR-T therapy products created in Raleigh, NC (USA). We also have several ongoing strong collaborations, based on our TALEN® technology, with leading cell & gene therapy companies, including our recent partnership with AstraZeneca, to develop new product candidates in oncology, immunology, and treatment of rare diseases. At Cellectis, we are committed to a cure. Cellectis headquarters are in Paris, France, with additional locations in New York, New York and Raleigh, North Carolina.

OneOne's mission is to support farmers in reducing their dependency on problematic agrochemicals. Our platform technology allows for the discovery and delivery of optimized microbes capable of enhancing crop nutrition, health, and growth, along with soil vitality.

SparingVision is a genomic medicines company, translating pioneering science into vision-saving treatments. Founded to advance over 20 years of world-leading ophthalmic research from its scientific founders at the Paris Vision Institute, SparingVision is leading a step shift in how ocular diseases are treated, moving beyond single gene correction therapies. At the heart of this is a pipeline of gene independent treatments for rod-cone dystrophies. Lead products, SPVN06 and SPVN20, address mid and late stages of retinitis pigmentosa (RP)respectively. RP is the most common inherited retinal disease affecting two million people worldwide. These novel medicines could form the basis of a suite of new sight-saving treatments with potential applications across many other retinal diseases, regardless of genetic cause. The Company is supported by a strong, internationally renowned team who aim to harness the potential of genomic medicine to deliver new treatments to all ocular disease patients as quickly as possible. SparingVision has raised €60 million to date and its investors include 4BIO Capital, Advent France Biotechnology, Bpifrance, Foundation Fighting Blindness (US), Fondation Voir & Entendre, UPMC Enterprises, Jeito Capital and Ysios Capital.
