France’s burgeoning microbiome-based research sector have formed the ‘Alliance Promotion Microbiote,’ a consortium that looks to boost the country’s efforts in developing microbiota-linked innovations.
The alliance counts BIOASTER, Biocodex, Biofortis, biose Industrie, Da Volterra, Eligo, Health For Life Capital, Lyonbiopôle and INRAe as founding members that also includes research institutes and business clusters.
Other organisations joining the group include MaaT Pharma, Nexbiome, NovoBiome, TargEDys, Pharmabiotic Research Institute, Seventure Partners and Ysopia bioscience.
“It is essential to structure a microbiota sector in France now,” say members of the Alliance Promotion Microbiote in a joint statement.
“This market is not only strategic but also extremely promising in terms of investments, jobs and France's influence internationally.
