►FROM IDEAS TO COMPANIES

OCTALFA is active and involved in supporting entrepreneurship in France. Its purpose is to promote academic and industrial research in the healthcare sector. Its missions are to identify inventions and expertises that will benefit to patients, coordinate research and feasibility studies prior to the inception of the company, define its strategy, set up the management and fund R&D until the market introduction of products or signing of structuring partnerships.

OCTALFA therefore supports companies until they achieve profitability, are sold or receive backing from an industrial or financial organisation.

► OUR APPROACH

We identify new projects, assess their
feasibility before implementing the strategy
and the economic model.

VALIDATION

We validate the project with the inventor partners.

FUNDING

We fund companies created with a long-term vision.

MANAGEMENT

We define strategy, then structure,
grow and manage companies created.
