Epoca publishes an open remote monitoring platform that uses connected medical devices to collect continuous health data for elderly and complex patients. Collected data is analysed by medical and paramedical care managers who are available 24/7 to assess patients and design personalised care plans. The company was founded in 2019 by geriatric doctor Elise Cabanes and nurse Mariana Fernandes to enable more patients to be cared for at home instead of in emergency settings. Epoca integrates connected objects and medical devices into its workflow and pairs technology with clinical staff to deliver remote homecare. With the fresh capital, the company plans to expand deployment beyond homes into independent residences, EHPADs and hospitals. Epoca aims to monitor almost 2,000 patients by the end of 2023 and currently employs 30 people, including 15 healthcare professionals.

Les Alchimistes operates a national network convening local entrepreneurs to collect, prepare and compost biodéchets from restaurants, canteens and households. Founded in 2016 in Île-de-France, the group has expanded to multiple large French agglomerations and is present in Lyon since 2020 following the acquisition of Les Détrivores (created in 2018). Its Vénissieux platform processes about 3,000 tonnes of biodéchets per year (roughly half from professionals and half from households via 500 community composting points), with 700 tonnes treated on site and the remainder prepared for partner platforms. The company is opening additional reception and composting platforms to increase treatment capacity regionally, including a planned Oullins site able to process 6,000 tonnes annually and employing around twenty people. The network aims to be present on 30 territories by 2027 so cities over 200,000 inhabitants have local composting solutions, and projects that expansion could create over 800 jobs. The recent €10M fundraising will finance platform openings, logistics and market studies to deploy further sites in other agglomerations.
